Abstract

The most common method for knowledge representation in an expert system is the production rule [Waterman 1986]. Unfortunately, the modularity inherent in a rule-based system is limiting, especially in an uncertain environment [Morawski 1989]. A fuzzy belief network (FBN) provides a more holistic, graphical approach and lends itself well to implementation in expert systems on personal and small computers.
