Towards Specialized Expert System Building Tools: A Tool For Building Irrigation Expert Systems

Abstract: Expert system development is very often an expensive process which requires significant time and effort. This paper investigates the idea of building a specialized tool for a specific task in order to realize very rapid development times with very little effort on the part of the developer thus considerably reducing the overall development cost. The particular task that this paper addresses is that of irrigation scheduling. The work presented describes various aspects of a tool that was built for rapidly developing irrigation expert systems for vegetable crops in Egypt, and shows how greatly this tool simplifies the process of building such systems.
