Can anybody tell me about their experience with object oriented languages to write expert systems ? The task that I am doing involves simulation of a plant and fault diagnosis. How tough is it to combine object oriented approach with rule-based approach ? Is it even necessary to do so ? I also require good graphics capability. Has anybody worked with Nexpert Object? If so would you recommend it for this task ? Please Email to k500@clutx.clarkson.edu Thanks in advance. Arun

Together with an undergraduate from the University of Connecticut, I developed a DigiTalk Smalltalk color-animated model of a local area network, complete with fault conditions and an integrated Prolog diagnostic system. The student made it a summer intern project plus senior design project. It was a lot of fun, and took about 20 work-weeks of effort, spread over a 9-month period. Prolog is well-integrated into DigiTalk Smalltalk. --Bary Kort
