ABSTRACT

The previous chapters have introduced a range of intelligent systems techniques, covering both knowledge-based systems and computational intelligence. The tools available to assist in constructing intelligent systems can be roughly divided into the following categories:

• Expert system shells, for example, Drools, CLIPS, and Jess. • Arti¡cial intelligence toolkits, for example, knowledge-based system tools

such as Flex/VisiRule, neural network packages such as SNNS, and multiagent tools such as DARBS.
