OPS5
<language> A programming language for rule-based
production systems.
A rule consists of pre-condition(s) and a resulting action.
The system checks its working memory to see if there are rules whose pre-conditions are satisfied, if so, the action in one selected satisfied rule is executed.
There is a
public domain implementation of an OPS5
interpreter written by Charles L. Forgy <
[email protected]> in 1977.
It was first implemented in
Lisp and later in
BLISS.
It was also ported to
Common Lisp by George Wood and Jim Kowalski.
CLIPS is a language for writing
expert systems, with some of the capabilities of OPS5.
