CIS 655                 Summer 2005       Assignment 1 – Expert Systems with CLIPS

Due: Start of Class on 06/01/05

Task:

· Write rules for CLIPS to handle inferring Grandparent and Cousin (first cousin). Add them to (a copy of) relatives.clp.

· Run the expert system, after loading your relatives file and the original relativesstart1.clp, tracing execution.

· Create a file with basic startup info for your family – 3 generations (genders, minimal necessary parents and spouses)

· Run the expert system, tracing execution

Turn In:

· Softcopy of your revised rules (preferably named yourlastnamerelatives.clp)

· Hard or softcopies of your traces (dribbles)

· Softcopy of your basic start-up family info (preferably named relativesstartyourlastname.clp)

· Hard or softcopy family tree diagram of your family, so I can check

NOTE:

• I expect that this should be able to be completed in class. But, if necessary, CLIPS can be easily downloaded for free and installed anywhere.
