Extract

A central area of application for knowledge-based systems is for giving consultative advice to the user. Such systems engage the user in a dialogue in the process of collecting enough information to be able to infer a conclusion from the knowledge base. Traditionally, then, the main initiative in the consultation process has been allocated to the system
