INTRODUCTION
Background
Debre Tabor University is one of the universities in the North
part of Ethiopia and was established in September 2003.
Debre Tabor University was the third generation institute in
Ethiopia to offer degree programs for technical teachers.
Formerly it was opened at Woreta Technical College and
College of Technical Teachers Education. The university
adopted the name Debre Tabor University on July 2004. The
university follows a community based education philoophy.
Con..
Nowadays, use of information communication technology
in all over the globe is becoming very advantageous in each
and every activity. More specifically, due to this reason,
there is a rapid and considerable advancement in the
registration sector owing to the application of computer
technology. And the great break through, the sector is
showing in terms of simplifying the way that things are
done in university are mainly the result of information
technology.
background of project
An expert system is a set of programs that manipulate
knowledge to solve problems in a specialized domain that
requires human expertise.. The main components of expert
system are knowledge base and inference engine.
Knowledge base contains the domain knowledge needed to
solve the problems in the form of rules. The rules are a
popular paradigm for representing knowledge. Inference
engine is the code at the core of the system which derives
conclusions from knowledge base through inference or
Con…
reasoning. The major features of expert system are user
interface, data representation, inference, explanations,
coping with uncertainty and advantages of expert system
are fast response, increased reliability, reduced cost,
reducing errors, multiple expertise, intelligent database,
reduced danger. There are also some disadvantages of
expert system. Disadvantages are absence of common
sense, no response in exceptional cases, and no change
with changing environment
1.2Problem Identification and technique
Among the people of less-developed countries like
Ethiopia, long-lasting diseases are the growing causes
of death. Moreover, these problems become worse due
to the scarcity of specialists, practitioners and health
facilities. Generally the manual system creates the
following problems:-
Con…
Create error
Time consumption
Requires labor
No fast response
Dissatisfaction
1.3 objectives
1.3.1. General objective
The main aim this mini project is to change
human thinking into computerized one.
1.3.2 Specific objective
Our system has the following objectives:
To save life.
To reduce cost
To reduce error
To increase reliability
To give fast response
To reduce danger
To save time
To reduce number of employee
To reduce human labor
To develop a prototype self-learning knowledge-based system
1.4.Methodology
The aim methodology enables how to gather data
using different source
1.4.1 Data gathering methods
We are collecting data through:
Questionnaires’:-
What are childhood diseases?
What are symptoms?
Con…
Interview:-
Doctor: what are childhood diseases?
Answers: the diseases are :
measles,flu,mumps,common_cold,chick_pox,german,
measle
Observation
1.5. programming language and software
To develop our expert system we use following software.
These are:
Prolog
Notepad
Microsoft word
Microsoft power point
1.6.Analysis of the project
Our expert system deals about medical diagnosis of
childhood diseases. Some of the diseases are:-measles,
common cold, mumps, chickenpox, fluenza,
german_measle. Some of the diseases and their
symptom.
Con…
1.7. Conclusions:
The proposed medical expert system is dealing with
child’s health and an approximate breathlessness,
chest tightness, night or early times coughing.) In the
end, based on user’s or childhood’ diagnosis of a
certain disease is established.
Con…
However, the knowledge base needs to be constantly
updated with new symptoms and diseases. Symptoms
already available in knowledge base are not 100% correct
because different doctors have different opinions and there
are anomalies in mediciness.
