Open publisher page 19 citations

Abstract

In defining some of the most common terms and topics associated with expert or knowledge-based systems, we include knowledge base, knowledge representation, inference engine, forward chaining, backward chaining, logic programming, and frames. We intend in this introduction to provide MS/OR practitioners with a starting point for investigating the applicability of knowledge-based techniques to their work.
