OPS5

<language>

A programming language for rule-based production systems. A rule consists of pre-condition(s) and a resulting action.

The system checks its working memory to see if there are rules whose pre-conditions are satisfied, if so, the action in one selected satisfied rule is executed.

There is a public domain implementation of an OPS5 interpreter written by Charles L. Forgy <[email protected]> in 1977. It was first implemented in Lisp and later in BLISS. It was also ported to Common Lisp by George Wood and Jim Kowalski.

CLIPS is a language for writing expert systems, with some of the capabilities of OPS5.
