Abstract
Expert systems represent a new opportunity in computing. An expert system
is a computing system capable of representing and reasoning about some
knowledge-rich domain with a view to solving problems and giving advice.
Expert system shells are developed to create expert systems in an easy way.
In recent years the object-oriented paradigm has been developed. The objectoriented
approach has many advantages such as data abstraction, program
modularity, and structural data representation. Therefore, we are developing
an expert system shell which stores knowledge and data in object-oriented
style. Also, an object-oriented DBMS part of our shell satisfy the needs of
several expert systems rec|uiring large base of fcvcts. Such shells can be used
to build expert systems by only adding the domain-specific knowledge.
