Abstract

This paper addresses the development of an Artificial Intelligence expert system, which performs tasks normally performed by experts in a given domain. In particular, a two-language approach to expert systems development will be examined, i.e., using LISP for rapid prototyping and problem understanding, and a more structured language such as Ada for development of an embedded software product. The advantages of each language for expert system development are discussed, and the results from a case study are provided to illustrate the two-pass approach and the issues involved in conversion of LISP code to Ada.
