DESCRIPTION
Knowledge-Based Systems encapsulate human knowledge to
perform tasks such as diagnosis, prediction and selection.
They are particularly appropriate for handling complexity
and uncertainty. KBTools is a toolkit which supports the
construction and maintenance of Knowledge-Based Systems.
KBTools allows for full forward-chaining and
backward-chaining, uncertainty, probabilistic and bayesian
reasoning and provides a comprehensive set of inference
procedures. The emphasis is on ease of building Knowledge
Bases as Boxes and Arrows diagrams. A flexible GUI
provides the interface between the Knowledge Engineer and
the Boxes and Arrows representation of the Knowledge Base.
The interface between the system and the end user is
configurable by the knowledge engineer.
We hope to bring this product to full commercial status;
the software released is a prototype version only. We
are placing it in the public domain for the following
reasons:
1) To elicit any comments, suggestions and criticisms
regarding the prototype software.
2) To allow people to develop and contribute knowledge
bases or ideas for knowledge bases.
3) To contact people interested in registering as
developers.
