Abstract
A computer-based system and method for building a Rete based network. The computer-based system comprises a first module for inputting rules into the computer-based system, wherein each of the rules may have arbitrary specified tests therein. The computer-based system further comprises a second module responsive to the first module for generating a data structure indicative of each of the inputted rules. The computer-based system further comprises a third module, responsive to the second module, for storing each of the inputted rules and a fourth module responsive to said third means for constructing a Rete network for the rules. Further disclosed is system and method for allowing an expert system developer to enter rules that are formatted in conjunctive, disjunctive and or negated form.
