A Rule Based Expert System Framework for Small Water Systems
Using an expert system to make decision making more reliable has been well studied and implemented over the years. For effective use, both data-driven questions (forward chaining) and goal-driven questions (backward chaining) need to be supported. Similarly, an avenue to update rules in the system …

The development of a rule based expert system to automate the digital analysis of condition monitoring parameters captured on rolling element bearings subjected to simulated failure
… provides a brief summary of the development of a rule based expert system to diagnose bearing failure. Firstly it covers the proposal of a generic, expert system based industrial condition monitoring system. It then discusses in more detail the development of a specific aspect ofthe system, viz. …

Fault diagnosis based on causal reasoning
A "causal" expert system based on hypothetical reasoning and its application to a Mark 45 turret gun's lower hoist are described. HOIST is a system that performs fault diagnosis without the use of a domain expert or "shallow rules". Rather its "knowledge" is coded directly from a structural …

Artificial intelligence based visual assessment: an explanation system for landscape aesthetic
A rule-based expert system was developed to evaluate landscape quality from the perspective of a landscape designer/architect. The rationale for the development of such a system is that it can provide explanations for final assessments and retain this information during the reasoning process. The …
