| Online Knowledge-Based System for Diagnosis of
Biological Problems in Pepper and Tomato by Using Java Expert System Shell
(JESS) Wanwiwat Lovichit, MS Student, Agricultural and Biosystems Engineering Human expertise is required to diagnose the diseases and pests in tomato and pepper. In reality, the experts have other duties and need to rest like any other human being. To overcome these problems, the knowledge-based system (expert system), one of the branches in artificial intelligence, has been proposed. The knowledge-based system is a problem-solving package of computer hardware and software whose performance can reach the level comparable to (or even exceeding) that of a human expert within a narrowly defined domain problem. The Internet is capable of delivering the various information-based services as well as the services of artificial intelligent system. The objective of this project is to develop the architecture of the knowledge-based system (expert system), to implement it in order to become an online expert, and to evaluate the system in terms of accuracy and effectiveness. The ultimate goal of this project is not to replace the human experts but assist them and also support the agriculturalists with additional knowledge.
