I am seeking help to find an appropriate expert system shell
for use in our teaching.
For some years now we have been using `Crystal' by Intelligent
Environments for a taught course on Expert Systems. It has
served our purpose well, being capable of non-trivial application,
and being easy to use.
However, it is now rather dated, both in appearance and in the
facilities that it offers. It is also (apparently) no longer
supported by Intelligent Environments.
So we are looking for an expert system development tool for students
to learn to use. Requirements:
- for Windows NT
- for rule-based systems
- allowing both forward and backward inference
- allowing (without insisting on) uncertainty
- with interfaces to other applications
- simple to use
- not too expensive
Suggestions welcome from any source.
