In employing the techniques of artificial intelligence, expert systems are designed to solve problems which normally require human expertise. This book asks the important question: to what extent can an expert system emulate human thinking? Primarily intended for the fast-growing number of expert systems designers and practitioners, the text addresses the issue of the assessment of the viability and implications of a cognitive approach to knowledge engineering. Maintaining a balance between theoretical and practical issues, the author argues both for and against cognitive emulation in expert systems design and analyzes the factors likely to enhance and constrain the adoption of this strategy. There is a critical survey of expert systems research which has already addressed the issue and its implications for knowledge acquisition, knowledge representation and system architecture. There is also a survey of research on human expert thinking, a bibliography and a number of tables offering compacted summaries of major topics and arguments.
