Abstract | This research proposes an outline of a language for helping users construct expert s y stems of various kinds . The user can apply different ways of representing and inferring knowledge in many kinds of applications where cooperating among different types of knowledge bases can be made possible for complex tasks. The main advantage of such an approach is the enhancement of freedom and adaptability. Basically, the proposed language HESL , a Hybrid Expert System Language, is an attempt to integrate frames and production rules into a hybrid representation . To provide flexible facilities for knowledge based prog ramming, HES L includes features like multiple- formalism of knowledge representation (including frames, rules and logic), flexible inference strategies (including forward, backward and hybrid chaining ), multiple knowledge - base handling as well as flexible and dynamic knowledge manipulation . The author presents here the main features, design issues, syntax , semantics a nd u sage of HESL together with its corresponding mechanisms , as well as hi sin sights gains during the design phase. |
