Abstract
Publisher Summary This chapter describes techniques by which the knowledge engineering team working on an expert system development project can investigate possible application domains to determine the best available application for the expert system. The choice of the domain is a critical task in the development of an expert system. The ultimate success of the development project may well depend on the effectiveness of the domain selection process—a well-selected do-main will facilitate expert system development, while a poorly selected domain may put major obstacles in the way of project success. For some expert system development projects, there is a very specific application, chosen by management, for which an expert system is to be developed. By analyzing the domain using the set of desirable domain attributes, potential problems in the expert system development might be identified. This identification would allow the expert system project to take steps to minimize or eliminate the potential problems or to reformulate the task accordingly. To evaluate the potential of a possible application, it has proven very useful to have a set of the desired attributes of a good expert system domain.
