Welcome to the inauguration of the Expert Systems Consulting Group, ExSCG. (Everyone has a three- or four-letter acronym so we went for broke on five.) This site is for those who have "been there and done that" with any BRMS tool, rulebase engine, neural net, forward or backward chaining, whatever... Whether corporate or independent, if you would like to blog here or have us link to your blog, let us know. While we do not have a corporate tie-in, we certainly DO encourage those from the corporate world to blog with us.
Of special interest will be "non-business" applications; we already have plenty of sites that cater to the BRMS (Business Rule Management Systems) world so we certainly don't need another one. This site will be those who have a common interest; that of furthering the expertise, knowledge and experience of any kind of expert system, whether it be neural nets, Prolog or rulebased systems.
The rules here are simple - keep it technical, keep it interesting. No denigrating any vendor with random snide remarks but rather to point out both the pros and cons of any product BUT with substantiated testing. Anyone can comment, even anonymously, and experienced consultants will be invited bloggers. (Bloggers have to join Google for some reason.)
Hopefully, this will be a central point for Windows and Unix/Mac users, C/C++, C@, C#, Java and even COBOL rulebased and neural net advocates, corporate and independent consultants and architects, pretty much anything that is technical and AI. Who know? This might be the harbinger of a return to C/C++ rulebased systems.
BTW, if you did or did not attend the October Rules Fest in Dallas in October of 2008, be sure to visit http://ORF2009.blogspot.com to help plan the next episode.

This looks interesting.
ReplyDeleteMy area of interest lies with Machine Cognition. I have built a number of these systems and incorporated discrete rules, fuzzy rules, and Neural Nets in order to produce an agent-based system.
However, the last time I worked with this stuff was about 3 to 4 years ago - I retired to living along the Gulf of Mexico coast in Florida. I'll have to re-think where I was.
