Assignment No. 3
Total Marks: 20 Dead line: June 06, 2012
Purpose of Assignment:
Intended purpose of this assignment is to give students an exercise using Prolog
programming language and to make use of Prolog's fast incremental development cycle
and rapid prototyping capabilities that have encouraged the use of the language as a tool
for solving complex problems while working in any professional software development
environments.
After attempting this assignment students will be able to:
Familiarize with the Logical and declarative aspects and programming techniques
used in the programming language like Prolog
Learn the basic syntax of Prolog as a highest level general-purpose language
widely used today
Students will get comprehensive understanding of Working with Rules and Facts
in Prolog.
Application:
AlstraSoft Expert System Application:
Scenario:
Suppose you are developing an expert Environmental system at Alstrasoft Pvt Ltd that
strives to be the premier provider of web-based software solutions for businesses
worldwide. As a web development and software company, Alstrasoft specialize mainly in
web design and software programming.
Evaluation:
Now In the same Environmental systems that predict the weather, analyze water supplies,
and so on. There is a need to develop an expert system in Prolog named ‘Weather
Modeling System’, for National Center for Atmospheric Research .This expert system
will provide relatively detailed, short term forecast of meteorological conditions. It is
used particularly to model pollutant dispersion (for instance, acid rain deposition).
Answer the following questions based on the scenario provided.
