The NuCINS (Nuclear Capability Identification of a Nation System) --- An Expert System for Political Intelligence Analysis

摘要

The NuCINS is an example that demonstrates the viability of expert system technology in social science area. The human expert in social sciences can be used as the source of knowledge for various expert systems. For example, there can be an expert system to assess the degree of political stability of a regime; a human expert can produce heuristic knowledge on this matter which could be a valuable resource, if coded. The processing of symbolic data is now easy to implement due to advancement of artificial intelligence discipline. Social scientists can take advantage of this technique by developing expert systems, which will lead to jump-start information systems research in a school of social sciences.
