A knowledge-based expert system for dyeing of cotton. Part 1: Design and development

摘要

Artificial intelligence-based computer programs, called expert systems, have received a great deal of attention and have been used to solve an impressive array of problems in a variety of fields. Diagnosis was one of the first subjects to be investigated after the availability of digital computers, with the advent of artificial intelligence as well as the expert system technology. A knowledge-based expert system for diagnosing problems in the dyeing of cotton has been designed and developed. The performance of the system has been tested and evaluated by human experts and is deemed to be highly satisfactory. This provides a starting point for further improvements in the system.
