# A Knowledge-Based Application Definition System

Clifford R. Hollander, Harry C. Reinstein

*Proceedings of the Sixth International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence*.

## Abstract

The design of an experimental consultation system, here called ADS, aimed at providing expert-level assistance to (nonprogrammer) specialists in defining medically-oriented, sensor-based applications is considered. The heart of the system is a knowledge base containing extensive static descriptions of the problem domain and mechanisms for instantiating elements of a subject application.
