Vendors

Gensym - workstation oriented software largely for processing control in manufacturing. Primary product is called G2.

Exsys - Expert System Shell software oriented toward the PC

Knowledge Garden - shell for PC's.

Neuron Data - upscale network and workstation oriented company.

Goldhill - focus on "language" oriented vendor. Originally a major LISP vendor.

Freeware JESS - JAVA Expert System Shell - (http://herzberg.ca.sandia.gov/jess/) - Jess is featured in the book "Intelligent Java Applications for the Internet and Intranets" by Mark Watson. It is a expert system shell for developing JAVA based expert systems

CLIPS - http://www.jsc.nasa.gov/~clips/CLIPS.html - available from NASA for doing E.S. development. A powerful tool, but also difficult to learn for the novice. Much closer to a programming language than a tool such as EXSYS.
