Abstract
Disclosed is a system that provides an expert system's equivalent consultation without containing either the original knowledge base or the inferencing and logic shell of an expert system. System and process implementations provide a transformation and record of results from an original expert system's knowledge base which has been exercised through a full series of all possible consultations utilizing the expert system's own shell and knowledge base. The resulting transformation of a knowledge base is captured in the form of tabular histories of inquiries, responses and results and made available to a user via a table driver access mechanism. Results identical to those produced on the original expert system are obtained in a system containing neither the knowledge base nor the inferencing and logic mechanisms. The system provides an identical dialog of interaction with a human user and produces the same conclusions as the original expert system but requires only a small fraction of the computational and memory resources needed for running the original expert system.
