INTRODUCTION TO EXPERT SYSTEM:
7/28/2019 Medical Test System Bawa
4/31
An expert system is a computer program that contains stored knowledge and solves
problems in a specific field in much the same way that a human expert would. The
knowledge typically comes from a series of conversations between the developer
of the expert system and one or more experts. The completed system applies the
knowledge to problems specified by a user.
Expert Systems are computer programs that are derived from a branch of computer
science research called Artificial Intelligence (AI). AI's scientific goal is to
understand intelligence by building computer programs that exhibit
intelligent behavior. It is concerned with the concepts and methods of
symbolic inference, or reasoning, by a computer, and how the knowledge
used to make those inferences will be represented inside the machine.
Of course, the term intelligence covers many cognitive skills, including the
ability to solve problems, learn, and understand language; AI addresses all of
those. But most progress to date in AI has been made in the area of problem
solving -- concepts and methods for building programs that reason about problems
rather than calculate a solution.
AI programs that achieve expert-level competence in solving problems in
task areas by bringing to bear a body of knowledge about specific tasks are called
knowledge-basedorexpert systems. Often, the term expert systems is reserved for
programs whose knowledge base contains the knowledge used by human experts
in contrast to knowledge gathered from textbooks or non-experts. More often than
7/28/2019 Medical Test System Bawa
5/31
not, the two terms, expert systems (ES) and knowledge-based systems (KBS) are
used synonymously. Taken together, they represent the most widespread type of AI
application. The area of human intellectual endeavor to be captured in an expert
system is called the task domain. Task refers to some goal-oriented, problem-
solving activity. Domain refers to the area within which the task is being
performed. Typical tasks are diagnosis, planning, scheduling, configuration and
design.
Building an expert system is known as knowledge engineeringand its
practitioners are called knowledge engineers. The knowledge engineer must make
sure that the computer has all the knowledge needed to solve a problem. The
knowledge engineer must choose one or more forms in which to represent the
required knowledge as symbol patterns in the memory of the computer -- that is, he
(or she) must choose a knowledge representation. He must also ensure that the
computer can use the knowledge efficiently by selecting from a handful of
reasoning methods. We first describe the components of expert systems.

When to Use Expert Systems:
ES are not suited to all types of problems. Initially, many developers actively
sought problems amenable to ES solution or tried to solve all problems
encountered using ES. As experience has been gained, attention has become more
properly focused on the problems to be solved rather than on the solution
technique. Note that in this course, we are focusing on systems engineering
techniques and tools and thus have been and will be quite concerned about the
solution technique.
Some problems can be described using existing algorithms, or by using a statistical
evaluation method. Other problems, that are not as well defined, that are ill-
structured and that currently require the help of a human expert, may appropriately
be solved using an ES. In effect, the techniques are rapidly becoming, along with
simulation and other conventional programming, important tools available to solve
a wide range of problems. Incompleteness of information is characteristic of
problems suitable for solution with ES.
The "telephone test" can often be used to help determine if a problem that cannot
readily be solved using traditional methods is amenable to ES solution. If the
domain expert can solve the problem via a telephone exchange with the end-user,
an ES program can probably be developed to solve the problem. On the otherhand,
if the user is unable to describe the problem verbally, or if the expert is unable
based on the telephone interview consistently to conclude a reasonable solution,
then ES development will likely be unsatisfactory. The telephone test assures that
the expert is not gaining additional information about a problem from other senses
and insures that the user is able to adequately describe the problem in words
(important since the user of an ES will be required to describe the problem
adequately).

Components of an Expert System
A typical expert system consists of five components
_the user interface
_ the working memory_ the knowledge base
_ the inference engine
_ and the explanation system
The knowledge base and the working memory (WM) are the data structures which
the system uses and the inference engine is the basic program which is used. The
explanation system answers questions the user has and provides an explanation of
its reasoning. Each of these components are briefly described below.
Working Memory:
The working memory represents the set of facts known about the domain. The
elements of the WM reflect the current state of the world. In an expert system, the
WM typically contains information about the particular instance of the problem
7/28/2019 Medical Test System Bawa
9/31
being addressed. For example, in a TV troubleshooting expert system, the WM
could
contain the details of the particular TV being looked at. The actual data represented
in the WM depends on the type of application. The initial WM, for instance, can
contain a priori information known to the system. The inference engine uses this
information in conjunction with the rules in the knowledge base to derive
additional information about the problem being solved.
Knowledge Base:
The knowledge base (also called rule base whenIf-then rules are used) is a set of
rules which represents the knowledge about the domain. The general form of a rule
is:
Ifcond1 and cond2 and cond3 ...
then action1, action2, ...
The conditions cond1, cond2, cond3, etc., (also known as antecedents) areevaluated based on what is currently known about the problem being solved (i.e.,
the contents of the working memory).Each antecedent of a rule typically checks if
the particular problem instance satisfies some condition. For example, an
antecedent in
a rule in a TV troubleshooting expert system could be: the picture on the TV
display flickers.The consequents of a rule typically alter the WM, to incorporate
the information obtained by application of the rule. This could
mean adding more elements to the WM, modifying an existing WM element or
even deleting WM elements. They could also include actions such as reading input
from a user, printing messages, accessing files, etc. When the consequents of a ruleare executed, the rule is said to have beenfired.
We will use a representation of the form:
rule id: Ifantecedent1 and antecedent2 .... then consequent
For instance, to represent the knowledge that if a person has a runny nose, a high
temperature and bloodshot eyes, then one has a flu, we could have the following
rule:
r1: Ifis(nose, runny) and is(temperature, high) and is(eyes, bloodshot)
then disease is flu
Inference Engine:
The inference engine is the program part of an expert system. It represents a
problem solving model which uses the rules in the knowledge base and the
situation-specific knowledge in the WM to solve a problem. Given the contents of
the WM, the inference engine determines the set of rules which should be
considered. These are the rules for which the consequents match the current goal of
7/28/2019 Medical Test System Bawa
10/31
the system. The set of rules which can be fired is called the conflict set. Out of the
rules in the conflict set, the inference engine selects one rule based on some
predefined criteria. This process is called conflict resolution. For example, a simple
conflict resolution
criterion could be to select the first rule in the conflict set. A rule can befiredif all
its antecedents are satisfied. If the value of an antecedent is not known (in the WM
memory), the system checks if there are any other rules with that as a consequent;
thus setting up a sub-goal. If there are no rules for that antecedent, the user isprompted for the value and the value is added to the WM. If a new sub-goal has
been set up, a new set of rules will be
considered in the next cycle. This process is repeated till, in a given cycle, there are
no sub-goals or alternatively, the goal of the problem-solving has been derived.
This inferencing strategy is called backward chaining(since it reasons backward
from the goal to be derived). There is another strategy, calledforward chaining
where the system works forward from the information it has in the working
memory. In forward
chaining, the conflict set will be created by rules which have all their antecedentstrue in a given cycle. The system continues till the conflict set becomes empty.
Inferencing strategies:
Explanation System
Expert systems typically need to be able to provide explanations regarding the
conclusions they make. Most expert systems provide a mechanism whereby the
user can ask questions about:
_ why a particular question is being asked
_ how the system came to a particular conclusion
Providing explanations is essential in all non-trivial domains for the user to
understand how the system works and determine whether its reasoning is correct or
not. Typically the system will keep track of what rules (knowledge) it is using and
provide explanations based on a translation of these rules into English.
Expert system developmentmethodology
The steps in a typical expert systems analysis and designmethodology are summarized in following figure :
7/28/2019 Medical Test System Bawa
11/31
1 Identification phase
The first step in the identification phase,Identify problem, is similar to the problem
definition phase in the traditional systems development life cycle. The objective is
to identify, characterize, and define the problems the system will be expected to
solve and then partition the problem into appropriate sub-tasks.
7/28/2019 Medical Test System Bawa
12/31
Once the problem is defined, the resources necessary for acquiring knowledge,
implementing the system, and testing the system are identified. Typical resources
include knowledge, time, computing facilities, and money. Because expert systems
are expensive and creating one takes considerable time, a feasibility study is often
conducted before work progresses beyond this point.
In addition to identifying resources, the expert system analysts and/or designers
also identify the systems goals and objectives. It is helpful to identify andexplicitly document the goals because certain design approaches, such as heuristic
search, breadth search, depth search, and reasoning are goal-driven.
2 Conceptualization phase
The central task of the conceptualization phase is to diagram the systems key
concepts and relations to define a conceptual base for a prototype system. Key
objectives include separating the inference engine from the problem domain,
factoring (analyzing) the problem into meta-problems, identifying the systems keyconcepts and relations, and testing those concepts and relations by challenging
them (with specific examples of problem-solving activities) to ensure that they
cover every general case. Many of the tools and techniques described in Part II are
used in this phase.
3 Formalization Phase
The formalization phase involves mapping key concepts, sub-problems, and
information flow characteristics isolated during conceptualization into more formal
representations based on various knowledge engineering and problem solving tools
and knowledge representation frameworks . The key objectives are to identify the
solution space (a domain with a collection of all possible solutions), the hypothesis
space (the hypothetical solution space), the underlying model, and the
characteristics of the data.
To define the structure of the hypothesis space, the systems analysts or designers
must formalize the concepts (knowledge in an abstract format that can be used to
guide a searching or reasoning process) and determine how they are joined to form
a hypothesis. The concepts provide clues about the nature of the space such as if itis finite, if a hierarchy must to be considered, if certain levels of abstraction can be
applied, and if a specific class of the concept must be generated. Such searching
techniques as blind search, heuristic search, and abstracting the solution space are
often used. Reasoning techniques such as assumption building, justification
building, and the constraints and goal technique help to identify the underlying
model of the process used to generate solutions in the domain.
4 System design phase
7/28/2019 Medical Test System Bawa
13/31
During the system design phase (sometimes called the logical design phase) the
analyst and/or designer specifies how the system will meet the requirements
identified during the previous three phases. Typically, the reports and other outputs
the systems must produce are defined first. This phase is similar to the design stage
in the traditional systems development life cycle. Note, however, that the
representation schemes used to describe knowledge differ from traditional
methodologies.
5 System development phase
A prototype expert system is created during the system development (or physical
design) stage. This stage is similar to the development stage in the traditional
system development life cycle.
6 Testing and evaluation phase
During this phase, the prototype system is evaluated. This phase parallels thetesting stage in the traditional system development life cycle. However, in addition
to the testing tools and techniques described in Part VII, expert systems utilize a
dynamic testing technique to verify the reasoning and/or inference process.
7 Prototype revision phase
An expert system evolves over time, calling for almost constant revision, a trait
expert systems share with most prototypes. Based on the results of the
testing/evaluation phase, concepts and relations are refined, the solution space, themodel, and the data characteristics are reformalized, and the system is redesigned.

TECHNOLOGIES USED:
.NetMicrosoft .NET (pronounced dot net) is a software component that
runs on the Windows operating system. .NET provides tools and
libraries that enable developers to create Windows software much faster
and easier. .NET benefits end-users by providing applications of higher
capability, quality and security. The .NET Framework must be installed
on a users PC to run .NET applications.
Advantages of .Net
1. Platform independence
First, it means that the same file containing byte code instructions can be placed on
any platform; at
runtime the final stage of compilation can then be easily accomplished so that the
code will run on that
particular platform. In other words, by compiling to IL we obtain platform
independence for .NET, in
much the same way as compiling to Java byte code gives Java platform
independence.
2.Performance improvement
Although we previously made comparisons with Java, IL is actually a bit more
ambitious than Java byte code. IL is always Just-In-Time compiled (known as JIT
compilation), whereas Java byte code was often interpreted. One of the
disadvantages of Java was that, on execution, the process of translating from Java
byte code to native executable resulted in a loss of performance (with the exceptionof more recent cases, where Java is JIT compiled on certain platforms).
Instead of compiling the entire application in one go (which could lead to a slow
start-up time), the JITcompiler simply compiles each portion of code as it is called
(just-in-time). When code has been compiled once, the resultant native executable
is stored until the application exits, so that it does not need to be recompiled the
next time that portion of code is run.
3.Language interoperability
7/28/2019 Medical Test System Bawa
15/31
The use of IL not only enables platform independence; it also facilitates language
interoperability. Simply
put, you can compile to IL from one language, and this compiled code should then
be interoperable with
code that has been compiled to IL from another language.
4. Object-oriented programming - Both the .NET Framework and C# are entirelybased on object-oriented principles right from the start.
5. Good design - A base class library, which is designed from the ground up in a
highly intuitive way.
The Relationship of C# to .NET
C# is a relatively new programming language, and is significant in two respects:
It is specifically designed and targeted for use with Microsofts .NET
Framework (a feature-rich
platform for the development, deployment, and execution of distributed
applications).
It is a language based on the modern object-oriented design methodology, and
when designing
it Microsoft has been able to learn from the experience of all the other similar
languages that
have been around since object-oriented principles came to prominence some 20
years ago.
One important thing to make clear is that C# is a language in its own right.Although it is designed to
generate code that targets the .NET environment, it is not itself part of .NET.
Introducing the Building Blocks of the .NET
Platform (the CLR, CTS, and CLS)
7/28/2019 Medical Test System Bawa
16/31
1. The Common Language Runtime
Central to the .NET Framework is its runtime execution environment, known as
the Common Language
Runtime (CLR) or the .NET runtime. Code running under the control of the CLR isoften termed managed
code.
However, before it can be executed by the CLR, any source code that we develop
(in C# or some other
language) needs to be compiled. Compilation occurs in two steps in .NET:
1. Compilation of source code to IL
2. Compilation of IL to platform-specific code by the CLR
This two-stage compilation process is very important, because the existence of the
IL (managed code) is
the key to providing many of the benefits of .NET.
2. Another building block of the .NET platform is the Common Type System, or
CTS. The CTS
specification fully describes all possible data types and programming constructs
supported by the
runtime, specifies how these entities can interact with each other, and details howthey are represented
in the .NET metadata format.
3. The Common Language Specification (CLS) is a related specification that
defines a subset of common types and programming constructs that all .NET
programming languages
can agree on.

SQL SERVER
Microsoft SQL Server is a relational database server developed by microsoft: It is
a software product whose primary function is to store and retrieve data as
7/28/2019 Medical Test System Bawa
19/31
requested by other software applications, be it those on the same computer or those
running on another computer across a network (including the Internet). There are at
least a dozen different editions of Microsoft SQL Server aimed at different
audiences and for different workloads (ranging from small applications that store
and retrieve data on the same computer, to millions of users and computers that
access huge amounts of data from the Internet at the same time).
SQL Server Management Studio
SQL Server Management Studio is tool included with SQL Server 2005 and later
for configuring, managing, and administering all components within Microsoft
SQL Server. The tool includes both script editors and graphical tools that work
with objects and features of the server
What is SQL server?
SQL server is a client/server relational database management system (RDBMS)
that uses the transact-SQL to send request between the client and SQL server.
Why use SQL server as back end?
SQL server is designed to be a client/server system.
Client/server systems are constructed so that the database can reside on central
computer known as Server and be shared among several users.
Supports multiple hardware platforms
Supports multiple software applications.
ADO.NET
ADO.NET (ActiveX Data Object for .NET) is a set of computer software
components that programmers can use to access data and data services. It is a part
of the base class library that is included with the MICROSOFT .NET Framework.
7/28/2019 Medical Test System Bawa
20/31
It is commonly used by programmers to access and modify data stored in relational
database system, though it can also access data in non-relational sources.
ADO.NET is sometimes considered an evolution of Active X Data Objects(ADO)
technology, but was changed so extensively that it can be considered an entirely
new product.
With the release of the .NET Framework, Microsoft introduced a new data accessmodel, called ADO.NET.The ActiveX Data Object acronym was no longer
relevant, as ADO.NET was not ActiveX, but Microsoft kept the acronym due to
the huge success of ADO. In reality, its an entirely new data access model written
in the .NET Framework.ADO.NET supports communication to data sources
through both ODBC and OLE-DB, but it also offers another option of using
database-specific data providers. These data providers offer greater performanceby
being able to take advantage of data-source-specific optimizations.
By using custom code for the data source instead of the generic ODBC and OLE-DB code, some of the overhead is also avoided.
