Abstract
Considerable interest continues to be shown in the use of logic programming in many areas of expert systems. Much of the enthusiasm stems from the adoption of PROLOG as the core programming language by the Japanese Fifth Generation Project. An intelligent computer-based instruction system, based upon an expert system approach and comprised of an expert system shell and a number of subject dependent knowledge bases, is introduced in this paper. The system, being implemented in PROLOG, would provide powerful question-answering and reasoning capabilities. The expert system shell is a suite of program modules which can be used to construct topic dependent intelligent computer-based tutors. A simplified sample chemistry tutor developed on the expert system shell is used in this paper to throw light on some of the intelligent features of this kind of systems.
