Knowledge Based Engineering

This course is basically an introduction to artificial intelligence
and expert systems. The general theme of the course is methods of
search. The expert system shell CLIPS is introduced not only to give
an example of an expert system shell, but also as a programming medium
(for the exercises) for illustrating the search methods introduced in
traditional AI textbooks (i.e. A, A*, Decision Trees, AND/OR
graphs). Depending on time, the numeric search techniques will also
be introduced, Gradient, Monte-Carlo and Genetic Algorithms.
In addition to CLIPS, the software system PRODIGY is introduced as a
medium for looking at planning problems, OTTER will be used to
illustrate resolution and GALIB will be used to illustrate genetic
algorithms.
The course gives emphasizes practical exercises
within the concepts introduced. The software systems are used to
enable the calculation of non-trivial examples and to see, by example,
the complexity the problems can take.
