systems (ESs) are applications of artificial intelligence, that emulates the decision-making ability of a human expert. ESs are designed to solve complex problems by reasoning about knowledge, like an expert (Wikepedia). There are expert systems that can diagnose human illnesses, make financial forecasts, and schedule routes for delivery vehicles. Some expert systems are designed to take the place of human experts, while others are designed to aid them. The first ESs was the Logic Theorist developed

Innovations in this era include the use of integrated circuits, or ICs which were invented by Jack Kilby and Robert Noyce . ICs are semiconductor devices with several transistors built into one physical component. Computers were able to run different applications at same time with a program that control the memory. There were invented a lot of techniques to improve proccesing. For example multiprocessing - execution of multiple processes using more than one processor in a system. Also computers were smaller
