"Expert systems are among the most exciting computer applications to emerge in the last decade. They allow a computer program to use expertise to assist in a variety of problems, such as diagnosing equipment failures and designing new equipment. Utilizing the results of artificial intelligence (AI) work on problem solving, they have become a commercially successful demonstration of the power of AI techniques. Correspondingly, by testing current AI methods in applied contexts, expert systems provide important feedback to the science about the strengths and limitations of these methods. In this review, we present the fundamental considerations in constructing an expert system, assess the state of the art, and indicate directions for future research. Our discussion focuses on the computer science issues, as opposed to issues of management or application." Annual Review of Computer Science.
