I'm currently looking for expert system shells that support / run under Microsoft Windows. The only one that comes to mind immediately is Level 5 Object. Can anyone think of any others?

The only one that comes to mind immediately is Level >5 Object. Can anyone think of any others? Inference's (El Segundo, Calif) ART-IM/Windows will probably be released within a half a year. ART-IM is probably the fastest expert system for real systems. Most of the others are toys in that they don't scale up well in performance. ART-IM's speed is independent to the number of rules (dependent on the number of unique patterns), and is on most platforms from PC's to Workstations t Mainframes.

I will drop a name of another shell for you : KnowledgePro Windows. Neuron Data has Nexpert Object in a Windows version too. I'm sure there are others besides these and Level 5 stuff too, I just don't remember them off the top of my head. FYI - KnowledgePro Windows lists for ~$700.00 US, and Nexpert Object is roughly $5000.00 US for a development system. george

Are there any benchmarks available that provide evidence along those lines ?
Ditto for the scalability. If you are looking for raw speed, you might wish
to take a look at OPS83. Lanny Forgy (clf@cs.cmu.edu) will be willing to
provide you with all the information you want.
ART-IM's speed is independent to

True for *all* systems that use the Rete algorithm to perform the match.
Rete shares the common tests in an directed acyclic graph framework.
In practice, however, only a test is shared by only a small number of
productions. therefore, the match time ends up being proportional to the
number of the rules albiet with a smaller coefficient. I would be greatly
(and happily) surprised if it was otherwise with ART-IM.

Other shells that run under Windows 3.0 are: - Kappa PC (not related to Intellicorp's other tool "ProKappa") - KPWin (Knowledge Pro for Windows, from Knowledge Garden) and - Nexpert Object (from Neuron Data). I suspect more will be available in the not too distant future. >Thanks, >Sande >Saundra K.

I used the predecessor DOS version to create some interesting CAI tutors. However the systems ran slowly under DOS and memory management was a problem for the KP interpreter. Thanks in advance.

NEXPERT Object runs under windows, *very* nicely! Neuron Data can be reached @(415)321-4488. Based on very recent research, NEXPERT Object is *the* product to beat if you want a graphical development environment. Jeffrey M. Jacobs ConsArt Systems Inc, Technology & Management Consulting P.O.
