Project Environment & Scope

(Please provide a detailed breakdown of areas to be implemented)

1) This project is implemented for: (Provide brief explanation)This project is mainly targeted for the students who are having problems in their university life. It specifically entertains questions about their personal lives in the university. For example; stress caused by assignments/peers. It will not respond to queries about the details about the university or modules/courses.

2) Is an expert system suitable for the problem area?

Yes it is suitable, because most university environments have many students who undergo a lot of pressures and this is what the expert system is going to help in.3) Is there a need for such a system? Justify.

Yes there is a need of such a system. Many students have difficulties talking to another person directly and are confused in what to do about their situations. Studies have shown Generation Y, which are most of the students in university today, prefer to socialize via the internet without face-to-face interaction. Some students are also shy and have fear they will be judged when they tell their problems to others. This expert system acts as a medium of interaction to address these things and then to try and resolve their problems by questioning them and giving them solutions according to their situation based on the users inputs.

User Level

(Please indicate if user level is novice, intermediate or expert)

4) This is a system for intermediate (novice/intermediate/expert) level users.

This is because different people describe their problems differently, this expert system listens to the most common general outline of each description/certain keywords. That means users are required to know their problem before talking to the bot.Agreement/Approval
