一、課程簡介:
專家系統簡單而言為一種具有智慧之電腦程式，撰寫專家系統時最常用之電腦程式語言為LISP和PROLOG語言，本課程採用較高階之PROLOG程式語言以發展一般性之專家系統核層及應用實例。上課之內容包括：
1. Introduction to Prolog
2. Prolog Language -- Basic
3. Prolog Language -- Advanced
4. Knowledge Representation and Search Methods
5. Introduction to Expert Systems
6. Rule-Based Expert Systems
7. Frame-Based Expert Systems
8. Applications of Expert Systems
9. Advanced Topics of Expert Systems

二、先修課程:
會使用任何一種電腦程式語言，如FORTRAN、C、C++、BASIC等。
