Expert systems design and implementation books

Thursday, November 11, 2004

I have bought these used expert systems books at Amazon:

• A Practical Guide to Designing Expert Systems by S.M. Weiss and C.A. Kulikowski (Rowman & Allanhed Publishers, 1984)
• Building Expert Systems by F. Hayes-Roth, D.A. Waterman and D.B. Lenat (Addison-Wesley, 1983)
• Programming Expert Systems in OPS5 - An Introduction to Rule-Based Programming by L. Brownston, R. Farrell, E. Kant and N. Martin (Addison-Wesley, 1985)

These books are more technical than Expert Systems: Artificial Intelligence in Business, and provide some useful meat on actually designing and implementing a knowledge base. The one on OPS5 is particularly interesting because it is a programming guide. The OPS5 production systems language has features similar to the one I am interested in, LISA.
