Knowledge systems and Prolog
This book is about knowledge systems. It is about how to design them, how to use them, and how to program them in a language called Prolog. A knowledge system is a computer program that solves, or helps to solve, problems that would otherwise have to be handled by a human expert alone. A knowledge system may be an expert system, a program that understands English (or another natural language), or a combination of the two. In addition it may make good use of a database management system to store parts of its knowledge. Knowledge systems are used to give advise and to solve problems in many areas, such as business, science, technology, and law. The knowledge systems described in this book have been developed at IBM, and have been used for experiments in several subjects, including manufacturing planning, communication network management, evaluation of the ease of use of software packages, and machine translation from one natural language to another.
