Abstract

This paper describes ERESYE, a tool for the realization of intelligent systems expert systems) using the Erlang language. ERESYE is a rule production system that allows rules to be written as Erlang function clauses, providing support for their execution. ERESYE is also able to support object-oriented concepts and ontologies thanks to a suitable ontology handling tool, providing means to translate object-based concepts into an Erlang form. The architecture of ERESYE and its basic working scheme are described in the paper. A comparison with CLIPS, one of the most known tools for expert system programming, is also made. The description of some examples of ERESYE usage are provided to show the effectiveness and the validity of the proposed solution, which opens new and interesting application scenario for Erlang.
