[comp.ai] Public Domain Expert System Shell on UNIX Environment

lukose@deakin.OZ.AU (Dickson Lukose) (10/23/90)

Currently we are investigating the construction of an expert system for
providing assistance to students in our undergraduate class.

We are seeking the availability of any public domain or shareware Expert System Shell that will allow us to implement the expert system on the same platform 
utilised by our undergraduate student (i.e. UNIX).


Any pointers will be much appreciated.

Please reply to myself or P. Smith, E-mail address follows:

thanks in advance

I received several replies, but all of them are refering to CLIPS

Two of the replies are listed below for all to refer to.

Hope this will be of help

Suggest you check into CLIPS. It is fairly widely used and is available in
C-source form. I am using it on Sun's at this moment (although it comes
set up for PC's).

Contact the distribution center (cost is ~300.00), COSMIC at Georgia
Tech, USA. 404-542-3265

Try CLIPS, it is a subset of the commercial tool ART.  It's written
in C and has been easily ported to a large variety of platforms.

CLIPS can be obtained from the Computer Software Management and Information
Center (COSMIC), which is located at the University of Georgia. The 
address &
telephone number are:

     COSMIC
     The University of Georgia
     382 East Broad Street
     Athens, Ga. 30602
     (404) 542-3265

Cost is about $300, though technically it is in the Public
Domain because it was produced by the gov't.  You can
replicate & redistribute it without restrictions.
