... ABSTRACT An artificial intelligence knowledge base (expert system) has been developed to assist oilfield personnel in analyzing for bacterial involvement in water-related field problems. The expert system also advises on the probability that bacterial contamination is involved in corrosion...

... in that the knowledge base is separate from the procedures used to derive conclusions from the knowledge. Expert systems are more like database management systems (DBMS) in that they build and manage knowledge in the same way that a DBMS handles information in a database. Generally speaking, expert systems consist...

... solutions generated by the system. The knowledge base contains the facts and heuristic rules (i.e., planning and problem-solving procedures) needed to formulate problem solutions. The interpreter executes the actions selected from the agenda by applying the rules and facts from the knowledge base...
