Oct 04, 2017 an expert system is an advanced computer application that is implemented for the purpose of providing solutions to complex problems, or to clarify uncertainties through the use of nonalgorithmic programs where normally human expertise will be needed. A knowledge base is an organized collection of facts about the systems domain.
The inference and knowledge representation components of these systems can be separated from the domainspecific portion of the expert system and can be used again for an entirely different task. For example, since an expert system shell provides a buildin inference engine, the developer can focus on inputting problemspecific knowledge into the knowledge base.
