Implementation of RETE algorithm using course finder system

Abstract

The RETE algorithm is an efficiently organized pattern matching algorithm for implementing production rule systems, used to determine which of the production rules should fire based on its data store. This paper presents how RETE algorithm can be used to improve the efficiency of expert system recommendation. The `COURSE FINDER' is an expert undergraduate course recommendation system. This system aims to assist undergraduate students who wish to join Amrita School of Arts and Sciences, Mysore. This expert system enables students to select suitable courses based on their skill sets without needing to consult an advisor. This system works on Rule based mechanism and RETE algorithm. The result was expected, where most of the undergraduate students who tested the system, were satisfied.
