Abstract
A good user-interface is a necessity for the success of
knowledge-based expert systems. Issues such as user
requirements, user model, and system model have been given
insufficient attention in the development of majority of many
such systems - particularly those for design applications.
This paper discusses the requirements, the benefits, and the
problems of building user-interfaces for knowledge-based
expert systems, The notions of a user model and system
model are discussed and their impact on the success of user-interfaces considered. The paper concludes with a
description of the user-interface developed for a knowledge-based design tool for preliminary seismic design of
reinforced concrete buildings.
