How about one which will diagnose a computer problem .....
So you can feed it symptoms, and it can figure out what is wrong.

ie.
Computer cant connect to the network.
Is the pasword correct?
Is the network cable connected?
Are the drivers installed?

etc

hey, me again, incase u were wondering... Expert Systems are created to provide:
"expert quality advice, diagnoses and recommendations given real world problems."

example...u might have seen a whale..and an expert system would ask u a series of questions to determine what whale u saw..the same with endangered animals..or cars...

thanks ppl

I also have the assignment about Expert System. I intend to do by using Visual Basic. However, I don't know how to do? I plan to have a list of questions, this is the multiple choice. And I use if then statement like, if you choose (a), you will go to an another question, and if you choose (b), you will go to a different another question. And maybe my expert system will have 6 nodes. Do I do right? Can you guide me more? Thanks.
Note: I will do like quiz program. But I will decide the next question for each answer, not random like quiz.
Thanks. Hope to receive reply early.

An expert system is regarded as the embodiment within a computer of a knowledge-based component from an expert skill in such a form that the system can offer intelligent advice or take an intelligent decision about a processing function. A desirable additional characteristic, which many would consider fundamental, is the capability of the system, on demand, to justify it's own line of reasoning in a manner directly intelligible to the enquirer. The syle adopted to attain these characteristics is rule based programming

A formal definition from the British Computer Society

There you have it. A simple set of if-then-else could be considered an expert system.
