| Abstract | Software has been developed for use here at Montana State University as a set of tools to help future students and researchers incorporate their knowledge about given domains of expertise into computer programs. All of the source code has been written in Common Lisp and tested on a Tektronix 4406 workstation. The tools are now available for use by students in artificial intelligence for the development of rule-based programs. Four features have been designated as critical for determining the usefulness of such software tools. First of all, it should be easy to learn how to use the tools. Also, the tools themselves should not introduce inefficiencies into the problem solving process. They should provide means for producing, upon request, a clarification of the solution obtained for a given problem. Finally, the tools should be general enough to permit their applications to problems of diverse natures. In a preliminary appraisal of the usefulness of this software, strong points emerge as do potential directions for further work. The formalism for expressing rules is very simple, and effective measures have been taken to prevent loss of efficiency during the search for relevant knowledge. Extensions can be made to provide for greater generality.
