Expert systems are a branch of the computer science of artificial intelligence. Their ability to mimic experts by applying their domain knowledge has led to the construction of a number of medical applications. A brief resumé of the structure and the processes involved in constructing knowledge-based expert systems is given. Reasons are given for the failure of these successful programs to be widely implemented. It is to be expected that improvements in other areas of artificial intelligence will make them more widely acceptable to the non-expert.
专家系统是人工智能计算机科学的一个分支。它们通过应用领域知识来模仿专家的能力催生了许多医学应用程序。本文简要介绍了基于知识的专家系统的结构和构建过程。文中给出了这些成功程序未能得到广泛应用的原因。可以预期，人工智能其他领域的进步将使它们更容易被非专业人士接受。
