The issues, choices, advantages, and disadvantages of dealing with developing deliverable expertsystems for an industrial environment are outlined. Development issues in this environment involve many things beyond what is needed in a research project. The author discusses application selection, planning, funding, development phases, maintenance, and other issues. The information is based on a combination of the experience of the author and the members of the expertsystems Technology Transfer Association, a Chicago-based group of expertsystem project managers.< >

A panel discussion on the future of expertsystems is presented. First, Inference Corporation's experiences in the areas of tools, methodologies and future research directions are described. Secondly, new areas and designs of applications beyond the first generation of expertsystems are considered. A methodology combining traditional information systems technology and expertsystems technology is then presented. Finally, the role of human elements in making expertsystemprojects successful is discussed.< >

Change in the locus of operating knowledge that accompanies 'New Federalism' policies implies different design and knowledge-engineering approaches for expertsystem applications. An expertsystems strategy to implement a New Federalism approach in a Congressionally-mandated regulatory program is discussed. Tactical needs created by competition with conventional knowledge-delivery mechanisms are analyzed. Three knowledge-engineering tactics especially suitable for developing expertsystems in this application environment are described.< >

A panel has been formed to study situational approaches to organizing and managing knowledge-based system (KBS) development efforts. It is noted that the most effective approach to organizing KBS developmental efforts is to start with specific company situation requirements and then develop an organizing approach suited to the specific organization, system, people and available resource requirements, and limitations under study.< >

The author discusses the experiences at the Idaho National Engineering Laboratory in developing an expertsystems/advanced computer technology organization. A brief history of the group is presented with discussions of personnel, training, hardware, and software. Two example applications from the laboratory are briefly described to point out some lessons learned. The author presents several opinions/lessons learned in developing expertsystems capability and applying expertsystems technology.< >

It is pointed out that, like other projects which spend corporate dollars, an expertsystem must be analyzed for its economic and strategic worth to the organization. Both traditional engineering economy project analysis and multivariate holistic methods can be applicable. The fundamental strategy of the analyst is to decide upon the evaluation methodologies, gather cost and benefit data, study the project from various perspectives, and present the results and recommendations.< >

The authors discuss the metamorphosis of the expertsystem Program at the US Navy Finance Center from an untested concept to the successful distribution of expertsystem technology. The management philosophy, organization plan, and staffing requirements are reviewed as related to the distribution of the technology to the end users. The benefits and problems associated with this metamorphosis are surveyed. It is concluded that the benefits of a distributed approach to expertsystems development far outweigh any problems associated with the method.< >

During 1989 and 1990 the Commodity Classification expertsystem (ES) was developed for the US Department of Commerce. This object-oriented program develops a person/computer dialogue that simulates the process an expert would use to determine if a high tech commodity could be exported. New users had problems matching regulation subsection headings with data on the manufacturer's data sheet. The dual problem of searching both the regulation and the spec sheet for matching words was sometimes frustrating. This problem was reduced, but not solved, by adding a commercial program that could search the regulations, providing examples of the subsection headings, and providing definitions of technical terms.< >

The role that the knowledge engineer and knowledge acquisition (KA) play in the expertsystem life cycle is described. The authors address the issues that need to be understood about the similarities and differences between expertsystems development and traditional tasks in the system development life cycle. Guidelines to choosing KA strategies are presented.< >

The authors review legal theories of liability for defective software as well as other emerging theories which may be applied to expertsystem software's new roles in American society. The purpose of this work is to allow expertsystem developers to understand in advance the performance standards to which they potentially may be held. It is concluded that legal theories will have to be expanded in order to directly establish tort liability due to defects in the software.< >
