[Tallahassee-pm] Expert system.

[Tillman, James]

I very recently did a market scan for open source expert systems and came up
with a couple options, one of which was CLIPS. There was a Java-based
solution called JESS that was Java-based and looked real cool until I saw
the licensing issues with it (non-free for commercial use).  I don't really
know if JESS is open source, but licensable, or if it's a binary only
distro.  You have to check.  They do have a free download of it for academic
use.  You could "test drive" it I suppose.
 
Even with JESS it looks like you'd be building your own knowledge base.
FDLE is woefully behind on troubleshooting issues.  They use SupportMagic,
and by "use" I mean it in the most minimal sense of the word.  They've
really done very little to customize it beyond the out of the box install.
I wouldn't know if it supports expert systems functionality, but if it does,
they're not using it!

Wow, so no one is using an expert system / DSS ?
I'd always thought the bigger shops would use one for common troubleshooting
problems for the front desk, or is it just that there are no customizable
free ones out there?

We are looking to implement a procedural expert system here where I work. Is
anyone currently using/ know about a good open source solution? Preferably
using as much of the following as possible:
Php
Perl
Web interface
MySQL 
 
I don't want to have to start from scratch with CLIPS!
 
Something generic that we can interactively put the knowledge and rules
into, and fine the cases where not enough information is supplied.
 
Any help is of course highly appreciated.
