Abstract
The knowledge,acquisition bottleneck impeding,the development,of expert systems is being alleviated by the development,of computer-base d knowledge,acquisition tools. These work directly with experts to elicit knowledge, and structure it appropriatelyto operate as a decision support tool within an expert system. However, the elicitation of expert knowledge and its effective transfer to a useful knowledge-based,system is complex and involves a diversity of activities. This paper illustrates the complete development,of a decision support system using knowledge,acquisition tools. The example,is simple enough,to be completely,analyzed but exhibits enough,real-world characteristics to give significant insights into the processes and problems of knowledge engineering.
