ABSTRACT
This paper describes ERESYE, a tool for the realization of intelligent systems expert systems) using the Erlang language. ERESYE is a rule production system that allows rules to be written as Erlang function clauses, providing support for their execution. ERESYE is also able to support object-oriented concepts and ontologies thanks to a suitable ontology handling tool, providing means to translate object-based concepts into an Erlang form. The architecture of ERESYE and its basic working scheme are described in the paper. A comparison with CLIPS, one of the most known tools for expert system programming, is also made. The description of some examples of ERESYE usage are provided to show the effectiveness and the validity of the proposed solution, which opens new and interesting application scenario for Erlang.

Evolution of ontology potential for generation of rules
WIMS '12: Proceedings of the 2nd International Conference on Web Intelligence, Mining and SemanticsThe main purpose of this paper is to evaluate the potential of OWL (Web Ontology Language) ontologies for generation of rules. It is assumed that OWL ontology expressions can serve as a material for rule extraction. It is necessary for Semantic Web ...
Ontology-based authoring of intelligent model-tracing math tutors
AIMSA'10: Proceedings of the 14th international conference on Artificial intelligence: methodology, systems, and applicationsThis paper describes the MATHESIS Ontology, an OWL ontology developed within the MATHESIS project. The project aims at the development of an intelligent authoring environment for reusable model-tracing math tutors. The purpose of the ontology is to ...
OWL2Jess: a transformational implementation of the OWL semantics
ISPA'05: Proceedings of the 2005 international conference on Parallel and Distributed Processing and ApplicationsThe wide scale usage of OWL for the formalization of real-world ontologies is currently influenced by important limitations which concern both its expressivity and the efficiency of OWL specific reasoning tools. While the expressivity limitations may be ...
