Abstract

Expert systems techniques are a powerful technology with many potential applications such as the enhancement of software tools. It can, however, be difficult to incorporate expert systems techniques into production software. We are attempting to solve this problem using CEST (C expert systems tools). CEST will consist of (1) a library of inference engines implemented as C functions and callable from C programs, and (2) a workbench of knowledge engineering support tools for building, analyzing, and maintaining knowledge bases. The first tool in CEST is AVIEN a backwards chaining inference engine implemented a set of C functions.
