Integrating Intelligent Systems using an SQL-database

摘要

The intelligent systems are capable of addressing the applications in variety of domains. Each intelligent system has inherent strengths and limitations. The recent trend has been towards integrating the intelligent systems to solve a problem involving complex decision making. The integration not only improves the strengths of individual techniques but also lessens their drawbacks. Integrating these systems with the databases give them the power of the database management features and ability to access large volume of information in real-time. The article presents an approach: (1) to integrate intelligent systems to databases, and; (2) to use an SQL-database as a coupler to integrate the intelligent systems to build real-time distributed hybrid applications. This approach has been implemented in the shell called Hybrid Expert System Shell (HESS) to integrate expert systems and artificial neural networks.
