Abstract

In this research, a prototype rule-based expert system for guiding high school students in selecting suitable undergraduate university majors is designed and developed. The system can also be used in the presence of academic advisors and teachers while advising their students to select the proper majors from the available options. The system is supported with an object-oriented database, and the interactions with the system are performed through a friendly graphical user interface. An overview of the system's model and a description of its structure are presented. The outcomes obtained by the current prototype show that the used expert system architecture resulted in successful computerized intelligent decision support software that is easy to maintain, modify, and extend.
