Design and Implementation  of an Expert System on Diagnosis of Communicable Diseases

INTRODUCTION

Nothing optimizes modern life better than the computer for better or worse, the computer has infiltrated every aspect of our society today, computer are capable of handling many of the repetitive tasks.

That is time-consuming is what motivated the computer scientist to think on the idea of designing and developing an expert system in a specific field or discipline to solve problems or sometimes as a knowledge-based system.

Expert systems attempt to supply both knowledge and reasoning of human being. They are experts in only one field, topic and discipline, they can help solve only a narrowly defined problem through a keyboard, scanner etc.

Ans the computer responds with the answer and explanation based on the facts and the rules that have been extracted from human and expert and stored in the computer.

BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

An expert system is a software system that attempts to reproduce the performance of one or more human experts, most commonly in a specific problem domain, and is a traditional application and/or subfield of artificial intelligence.

A wide variety of methods can be used to simulate the performance of the expert however common to most or all are

1) The creation of a so-called “knowledgebase” which uses some knowledge representation formalism to capture the subject matter experts (SME) knowledge and

2) A process of gathering that knowledge from the SME and codifying it according to the formalism, which is called knowledge engineering.

Expert systems may or may not have learning components but a third common element is that once the system is developed it is proven by being placed in the same real world problem solving situation as the human SME, typically as an aid to human workers or a supplement to some information system.
