Project Purpose

To design and implement an expert system that we called Registration Advise (RAD). The goal of the expert system was to provide a list of recommended courses that a student could or should enroll in for the given quarter. The goal was accomplished by asking the student general questions about the upcoming quarter then eliminating the courses that would not match the student's criteria.

Our final report states what we learned, related to both the course material and project. In addition, it identifies suggested improvements to this expert system had we had more time.

Using RAD

Download Project Source Code

This source code runs within the confines of the CLIPS which is a development environment for expert systems. Go to CLIPS home page for downloads and documentation.

Step-by-step Instructions

• Start CLIPS for windows
• Main Menu
  • File - Load Constructs... (Load Project source code downloaded from this web page)
  • Execution - Reset
  • Execution - Run

At this point, RAD's first question should appear. All questions will have a multiple choice answer except the first two:

• "What is your name?", which you may type-in anything
• "What is your student ID #?", which must be 5555555. This is a test only student ID.
• The rest of the questions are multiple choice.

Good Luck.
