Abstract
The importance of Expert Systems ES as a powerful business tool has become widely recognized in industry. That in turn has led to a major increase in ES development activities and has exacerbated the need to manage these activities for more efficient use of development resources. An important component for effectively managing ES development is an Expert System Development Life Cycle ESDLC. Based on ES development managers' opinions, this study ascertains the general benefits to be expected from an ESDLC, integrates existing ESDLC models into one expected to be widely accepted in practice, and uses this standard ESDLC to explore what is being done in practice in terms of company specific ESDLC phases/activities and the percentage of time ES developers spend in each phase.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
