The examples were chosen and designed with this purpose in mind and should therefore in no way be seen as fully fledged expert systems with immediate practical application. The first example is a typical classification application while the second example illustrates a diagnostic and repair recommendation application.758622 bytesapplication/pdfenSouth African Journal of Industrial Engineering (SAJIE).
