Explanation and Acquisition in Expert Systems Using Support Knowledge
There are many criteria that an expert system must meet in order to be considered successful in a domain. An important criterion is that it be able to solve problems in its domain with a satisfactory level of expertise. In addition to this an expert system should also be able to communicate well with its users. This means not only asking for relevant information when needed but also providing explanations of its reasoning process that are acceptable to a user. Furthermore, an expert system should be easily .expandable to incorporate new knowledge or correct outdated or erroneous knowledge

A Knowledge-Based Expert Systems Primer and Catalog
For more than 20 years, artificial intelligence techniques have been applied to the development of computer programs that solve difficult problems. Although several expert systems are well known, it is all too easy to circumscribe the field based on these few examples. The purpose of this paper is to present the fundamentals of the field (the Primer), and to give a broad overview via concise descriptions of many rule-based expert systems and knowledge engineering frameworks (the Catalog)
An expert system applied to earthmoving operations and equipment selection
The thesis represents an effort to assess the current and future
development of expert systems relating to civil engineering
problems. It describes the development and evaluation of an
Expert System (ESEMPS) that is capable of advising on earth
allocation and plant selection for road construction similar to
that of an expert in the domain. [Continues.

Knowledge Based Systems: A Critical Survey of Major Concepts, Issues, and Techniques
This Working Paper Series entry presents a detailed survey of knowledge based systems. After being in a relatively dormant state for many years, only recently is Artificial Intelligence (AI) - that branch of computer science that attempts to have machines emulate intelligent behavior - accomplishing practical results. Most of these results can be attributed to the design and use of Knowledge-Based Systems, KBSs (or ecpert systems) - problem solving computer programs that can reach a level of performance comparable to that of a human expert in some specialized problem domain. These systems can act as a consultant for various requirements like medical diagnosis, military threat analysis, project risk assessment, etc. These systems possess knowledge to enable them to make intelligent desisions. They are, however, not meant to replace the human specialists in any particular domain. A critical survey of recent work in interactive KBSs is reported. A case study (MYCIN) of a KBS, a list of existing KBSs, and an introduction to the Japanese Fifth Generation Computer Project are provided as appendices. Finally, an extensive set of KBS-related references is provided at the end of the report
Knowledge based systems: A preliminary survey of selected issues and techniques
It is only recently that research in Artificial Intelligence (AI) is accomplishing practical results. Most of these results can be attributed to the design and use of expert systems (or Knowledge-Based Systems, KBS) - problem-solving computer programs that can reach a level of performance comparable to that of a human expert in some specialized problem domain. But many computer systems designed to see images, hear sounds, and recognize speech are still in a fairly early stage of development. In this report, a preliminary survey of recent work in the KBS is reported, explaining KBS concepts and issues and techniques used to construct them. Application considerations to construct the KBS and potential KBS research areas are identified. A case study (MYCIN) of a KBS is also provided
