Does anyone know of a general purpose expert system available for VM/CMS? I'm looking for one that would be used on a university campus by a variety of researchers in different disciplines. Each researcher would feed their own rules into it. Also, can anyone recommend readings, conferences, etc. for someone getting started in this field? Thanks.

There is no General Purpose expert system in the world. If you find one, you will probably get the Turing Award. I will be very happy to recieve more information about General Purpose Expert Systems. A breakthrough I am looking forward to. Please excuse my ignorance about this new technology. Thanks. Navin Chandra MIT

Hi, FOUND! There is an expert system shell for CMS. It is called PRISM. PRISM is also called ESE (expert system environemnt). It has production rule based programming and a interesting control structure based on Focus Control Blocks (with inheritance) ESE is available from IBM itself. It is written in lisp and was most probably developed at IBM Watson Research Labs. Navin Chandra MIT

When we checked into the availability of PRISM, we found that IBM was NOT making it available. It would be interesting to know if that has changed. Also, does it run in LISP (as in a lisp that someone would actually own), or in IBM LISP?
