Rule-Based Programming With Ops 5 [Hardcover]

Thomas Cooper (Author), Nancy Wogrin (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: August 1988

OPS5 is a powerful pattern-matching language that, since its development at Carnegie Mellon in the late 1970s, has been used to develop several large, industrial knowledge-based systems. This practical guide provides a solid introduction to OPS5 for systems builders in development and research settings. The authors, a seasoned OPS5 programming expert and an experienced OPS5 industrial rtainer, have based the book on their own experiences and the expertise of OPS5 programmers who daily confront the practical problems of building successful, complex, real-world systems. Major topics include OPS5 syntax, programming techniques, control, debugging, efficiency, designing applications, building and testing OPS5 systems, and coding conventions. Exercises and programming examples enable the reader to apply ideas to real problems.

Greetings:

Tom and Nancy did a GREAT job in this book and it's fairly easy to read if you already know LISP. If you don't know LISP it still is not too bad.

This was the book that Dr. Forgy (the guy who invented the Rete Algorithm and the Rete 2 / Rete III algorithms and now the TECH algorithm) recommended to me on our first project way back in '99. It proved to be an excellent book and I used it (along with the Girratano and Riley book) to teach rulebased systems. Check out [...]for my other selections.
