Abstract

The use of expert systems in the speed-up of human professional work has been in two orders of magnitude with resulting increases in human productivity and financial returns. Last decade shows that a growing number of organizations shift their informational systems towards a knowledge-based approach. This fact generates the need for new tools and environments that intelligently port the legacy systems in modern, extensible and scalable knowledge-integrated systems. This paper presents an extensible, user-friendly environment for expert system development, which supports the integration of high-level knowledge ”beans” into host projects, data integration from conventional database systems and system’s verification, debugging and profiling.
