Artificial intelligence for the personal computer user has arrived. Expert systems, once the domain of academic research, are today's hottest new market in commercial software. Programming Expert Systems in Modula-2 is a do-it-yourself guide to planning, writing and implementing a knowledge-based expert system in the PC environment - using Modula-2 and an "authoring" system developed by Brian Sawyer and Dennis Foster and presented here in its entirety. Creating an expert system can be a daunting job, but the unique authoring system in this book makes it manageable. The book gives you a framework for organizing information and probability data for decision-making and problem-solving in a wide range of fields - business, health care, manufacturing, education and many more. Best of all, you do not have to learn any specialized language associated with artificial intelligence, such as Lisp or Prolog - the entire program can be written in Modula-2.
Complete with diagrams, tables, and easy-to-follow listings, the book features proven techniques for building an expert system, from elementary engineering to system architecture; A sample knowledge base demonstrating an expert system "in action"; practical tips on how to use an expert system in common, problem-solving environments and an appendix that lets you convert standard Modula-2 to use Borland International's hot, new, low-priced Turbo Modula-2.
