a computer program that stores knowledge from one or more experts in their domain, and uses this knowledge to ask them questions and come up with advice for the user based on their answers, this is called a consultation, also it provides the user with why is asking the questions and how it came up with the advice.
an expert system has three main parts-
the user interface-is what the user sees
the inference engine-decides the order of the rules
the knowledge base-contains facets and rules
an expert system shell is a empty expert system, a system with no rules or expertise but with a user interface and a inference engine.
