...Describe any five early expert systems (20 Marks) An expert system (ES) is a knowledge-based system that employs knowledge about its application domain and uses an inferencing (reason) procedure to solve problems that would otherwise require human competence or expertise. Expert systems are built to solve a wide range of problems in domain such as medicine, math, engineering, chemistry, geology, computer science, business, law, defense and education. Five early expert systems are detailed below. 1. DENDRAL DENDRAL is an expert system that examines the spectroscopic analysis of an unknown chemical compound and predicts its molecular structure. It was developed by Bruce Buchanan in the late 1960’s and its domain field is chemistry. It was designed to use mass spectrometry and other chemical information to deduce the molecular structure of chemical compounds. Its primary aim was to help organic chemists in identifying unknown organic molecules, by analyzing their mass spectra and using knowledge of chemistry. 2. MYCIN MYCIN is an early expert system that used artificial intelligence to identify bacteria causing severe infections, such as bacteremia and meningitis and to recommend antibiotics, with the dosage adjusted for patient's body weight. Its expertise lies in the domain of bacterial Infections. It was developed in MYCIN operated using a fairly simple inference engine, and a knowledge base of about 600 rules. It would query the physician running...

...management systems. For example, while basic aggregation operations like SUM and AVG are part of SQL, there is no support for other commonly used operations like variance and co-variance. Such computations, as well as more advanced ones like regression and principal component analysis, are usually performed using statistical packages and libraries, such as SAS [1] and SPSS [2]. From the end user’s perspective, whether the statistical calculations are being performed in the database or in a statistical package can be quite transparent, especially from a functionality viewpoint. However, once the datasets to be analyzed grow beyond a certain size, the statistical package approach becomes infeasible, either due to its inability to handle large volumes of data, or the unacceptable computation times which make interactive analysis impossible. With the increasing sophistication of data collection instrumentation, and the cheap availability of large volume and high speed storage devices, most applications are today collecting data at unprecedented rates. In addition, an increasing number of applications today want the ability to perform interactive and on-line analysis of this data in real time, such as “what-if” analysis in forecasting. The emergence of multiple gigabyte corporate data...

The Mathematics Educator 2005, Vol. 8. N0.2. 53-70 Working with Logarithms: Students' Misconceptions and Errors Chua Boon Liang and Eric Wood National Institute of Education, Nanyang Technological University Abstract: This study examines secondary school students' understandings and misconceptions when working with logarithms using a specially designed test instrument administered to 81 students in two Singapore schools. Questions were classified by cognitive level. The data were analysed to uncover the kinds of errors made and their possible causes. Students appear capable of doing routine calculations but less capable when answering questions which require higher levels of cognitive thinking. In addition, many errors are not due to lack of knowledge but appear to be based on over-generalisation of algebraic rules. Suggestions for practice based on these findings are provided. Introduction Anecdotal evidence from teachers and colleagues over the years has consistently confirmed that teaching logarithms in secondary school...

...PRESTIGE TELEPHONE COMPANY . Assignment The purpose of this case is to give you an opportunity to exercise your CVP analysis skills in a mixed non-profit/profit service context. As the controller of Prestige Telephone Company, you have been asked for an analyses of the 1997 first-quarter operating results for Prestige Data Services (a fully-owned subsidiary) and possible alternative courses of action to improve performance of Prestige Data in the future. Write a memo to Mr. Rowe (President, Prestige Telephone Company) and Ms. Bradley (Manager, Prestige Data Services) summarizing your analysis and recommending a course of action for Prestige Data Services. Mr. Rowe is considering four different course of action to improve the performance of Prestige Data Services. Discuss each of the options and the outcome you would predict from choosing that option. In addition to these four options, also discuss (1) the change in operating income you would expect for Prestige Telephone Company if Prestige Data Services was shut down, and (2) the number of hours Prestige Data Services needs to sell to outsiders to break even (as noted in guidance question #3 below). You will need to make some assumptions to proceed with your estimates --- you must describe and justify those assumptions. You must include well-labeled exhibits that support your assumptions, analyses and conclusion. Finally, suggest changes to the reports provided to Mr. Rowe for decision-making. The following...
