Duchastel, Philippe C. – Instructional Science, 1990
Discusses the use of expert systems for the development of instructional design and recommends instead the cognitive approach of an instructional design workbench. Distinctions between expert systems and advisory systems are examined, the problem-solving process of instructional design is described, and design requirements for an instructional…

Abramson, Bruce – 1990
Recent developments in artificial intelligence and decision analysis suggest reassessing the approaches commonly taken to the design of knowledge-based systems. Competent systems are based on models known as influence diagrams, which graphically capture a domain's basic objects and their interrelationships. Among the benefits offered by influence…

Mess, John A. – Journal of the American Society for Information Science, 1995
Discusses what a functional chemical information workstation should provide to support the users in an academic library and examines how it can be implemented. Highlights include basic design considerations; natural language interface, including grammar-based, context-based, and statistical methodologies; expert system interface; and programming…

Aldinger, Loviah E.; And Others – TEACHING Exceptional Children, 1995
This article describes the stages in developing a special education expert system: orientation, development of a theoretical framework, generation of content for the system databases, and checks for consistency and logic/revision. It explains the synthesis and application required to build the content for the system and discusses typical problems…

Davidson, Colin H.; And Others – Journal of Documentation, 1988
Discusses the special information needs of the building industry, attributes of existing expert systems that support building design and construction, and current research to further develop the application of expert systems to this area. An annotated listing of related expert system developments is appended. (49 references) (CLB)

Gaines, Brian R.; Vickers, Joan N. – Microcomputers for Information Management, 1988
Reviews the background, concepts, and role of hypermedia systems and analyzes essential, expected, and desirable features of hypermedia in order to provide a basis for system design and evaluation. Four hypermedium shells and systems are described, and approaches to user interface problems are discussed. (48 references) (MES)
