[comp.ai] Evaluating Expert Systems

alejandr@june.cs.washington.edu (Alejandra Sanchez-Frank) (11/16/88)

Do you know of any research, paper or publication on Expert System
Evaluation? 
I'm trying to define what a "good" expert system should be (What
characteristics it should have, and what criteria one should use
to evaluate it).  

I would appreciate any comments and/or references you may have.

Thanks,

Alejandra

   I would recommend the book "Expert Systems: A Non-programmer's Guide
   to Development and Applications" by Paul Siegel.  It was published
   by TAB Professional and Reference Books (Blue Ridge Summit, PA).  
   Chapter 10 has information on evaluating the knowledge base.

   I would also recommend Paul Harmon's books.  One of the books is called
   Expert Systems: Artificial Intelligence in Business, published by John
   Wiley.  

   Finally, I would recommend a recently published book called Expert
   Systems for Experts.  I don't have the author or publisher for it.
