Discussion Question

 Research and Discussion

Compare various ways expert systems can be used in business decision-making situations.

Introduction: Almost everything we do today involves some type of expert system; a simple and common example is the diagnostic system that mechanics use to diagnose problems with a vehicle. Most modern mechanics are left in the dark without a computer system to take them through the diagnostic case and at the end report the status of the vehicle.

The importance of an expert system cannot be overemphasized; an expert system can assist in decision making, diagnosing and troubleshooting a problem, assisting in design and configuration. Given existing constraints, it can also assist in making selections and classifications, processing, monitoring, and controlling the system.
