RT-Expert enables C programmers to easily integrate Expert Systems rules
into their C or C++ applications. RT-Expert consists of a rules to C-
code compiler and a library containing the rules execution engine. RT-
Expert for DOS works with Borland Turbo C, Borland C++, and Microsoft
C/C++ compilers. The personal edition is licensed for educational,
research, and hobby use. Applications created with RT-Expert personal
edition are not licensed for commercial purposes. Professional editions
are available for commercial applications using DOS, Windows, and Unix
environments.
Rules based programming, used in expert systems, reduces the size of
decision code for an application by a factor of 10:1. Previously, this
technology could not be easily integrated into an application because of
the complexity of interfacing with expert systems shells and inference
engines. Now, with RT-EXPERT, the interface is as simple as calling a C
subroutine.
With RT-EXPERT, users can break down their rules into multiple
subroutines to facilitate ease of integration. When an application calls
upon an RT-EXPERT generated subroutine, a mechanism is automatically
invoked to control the firing of the rules. Rules are triggered by
changes to data and also by the passage of time. The mechanism also
supports goal directed chaining as well as depth first searches. Because
rules are compiled into C code, execution is much faster than with
inference engines that interpret the rules.
RT-EXPERT includes a tutorial and examples of how to program in "expert
systems" rules. It is an excellent way for programmers to learn this
important technology and to inexpensively integrate Expert System rules
into their applications.
