This paper explores an approach to building an
adaptive expert system prototype in an environment of human-computer collaboration. Components of an adaptive system are identified, with an emphasis on the mechanisms that enable adaptive behavior to occur.An adaptive expert system is necessary in order to communicate with the user and also adapts to user’sneeds. The adaptive expert system in this particular project is implemented on a Feng Shui garden design domain.A frame-based data representation and rule-based approach is applied to this project. In this research, the Feng Shui aspiration is adapted to users’ assessment and choice based on their preferences. This experimental expert system prototype displays low level adaptive capabilities that show sufficient promise to warrant further research
