Abstract: An expert system uses internal rules for sound software development and in the end automatically produces a correct running system, without the need for the designer to work out the solution first or to enter any more than the facts (data types and procedure types) of the organization. To operate the user merely inputs data about the organization in response to prompts in the form of conversational language questions. The rest of the development of the software for that organization is actually done by the expert system itself.
