Abstract

A customizable tool for the generation of production-based systems G. Bittencourt & M. Marengoni Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas Espaciais - INPE/LAC Caixa Postal 515, 12201-970 - Sao Jose dos Campos - SP - Brazil ABSTRACT A tool is proposed that integrates a modular graphical interface for image processing and an expert system shell generator. The tool provides three knowledge representation formalisms (logic, frames and semantic nets), forward and backward control strategies, and several conflict resolution methods. These features can be combined to construct expert system shells with different levels of complexity. The tool is intended to facilitate the implementation of expert systems in the domain of image processing, and to be used as a teaching and research laboratory in knowledge representation and expert system architecture.
