There are certainly limitations due to memory size and time efficiency. What are typical problems when developing and/or using a PC based expert system? What do users (not only developers) think about expert systems on PCs? What domain solutions are successfully realized on a PC? Are the users satisfied with the features and efficiency or are such systems 'just expensive toys'? The main goal of this survey is to get an overview of how useful and successful expert system implementations on PCs are. Any contribution and comments are appreciated. I plan to post a summary of the results on this newsgroup. Thanks, Parvis. -- parvis@gitpyr.gatech.edu
