Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An expert system (ES) is designed to emulate the problem-solving techniques of a human expert in a specific domain. It uses a knowledge base and inference rules to make decisions and provide advice to users. An executive information system (EIS) provides high-level information to executives, a group support system (GSS) assists group collaboration and decision-making, and a decision support system (DSS) provides support for all stages of decision-making. While these systems may incorporate some aspects of human problem-solving, they do not emulate it to the extent of an expert system.
