Implementation of a Rabbit Disease Diagnosis Expert System using the Forward Chaining and Certainty Factor Method

Abstract

An expert system is a system that adopts the expertise of an expert in a particular field into the system. Rabbits are one of the animals that are close to humans and have high body adaptability. However, rabbits are not free from the threat of disease. Treatment requires more costs so we need a way to find out the disease and the solution so that we can take the necessary actions. To overcome this, an expertise media was created that can be accessed by rabbit owners online using the Forward Chaining and Certainty Factor methods. The expert system must be able to work under uncertainty, so the Forward Chaining (FC) and Certainty Factor (CF) methods were added to overcome this problem. Forward Chaining is a decision making method that is commonly used in expert systems and the Certainty factor method is a method to prove the uncertainty of an expert's thinking. The system diagnosis results display possible diseases suffered by rabbits and provide treatment solutions for diseases with the largest CF values. With the calculation results, the level of confidence information based on the table is Definitely Yes. The accuracy of the system output is proven from the results of system validity with experts.
