Abstract

Hearsay-Ill provides a framework for constructing knowledge-based expert systems. While Hearsay-Ill makes no commitment to any particular application domain, it does supply a variety of generally applicable facilities. These include representation primitives and an interpreter for large-grained, flexibly schedulable production rules called knowledge sources. A detailed overview of the motivations behind Hearsay-Ill and the facilities it provides are presented. Finally, an application of Hearsay-Ill is described.
