Editor: myExpert Developer is aimed at organisations that want a capable Windows Vista/XP based expert system/decision support development environment that can deliver sophisticated rule-based expert systems solutions to end-users.
Systems solutions developed with myExpert Developer are production rule-driven. The developer is concerned with creating expressions and rules that model the knowledge domain, rather that worrying about actual process Logic. Managing process logic is the role of the inference engine. "Tell the computer what to know, rather than what to do".
myExpert developers create rules of the form IF A AND B THEN C. Developers use an intuitive drag-and-drop interface to facilitate rapid development, testing and deployment. Developers may create rulebases containing hundreds of even thousands of rules. In fact, the only constraints are available computer memory. (It is unusual for an effective expert system to contain thousands of rules however).
The antecedents and consequents of each rule can link directly to appropriate HTML and PDF documentation, thus enabling the integration of effective document retrieval
Forward and Backward chaining inferencing is fully supported. In addition, uncertainty is handled through the use of Certainty Factors. Thus, rules of the form IF A (certainly) AND B (certainly not) THEN C (possibly) are fully supported. myExpert uses rigourous "combined certainty Factor" techniques to resolve conflicts Between rules (ie rules that assert different certainties to expressions).
