Reasoning Techniques for Diabetics Expert Systems

Abstract The field of reasoning methodologies is very important in the area of knowledge computing and engineering. Reasoning methodologies has been one of the standard and improving techniques with strong methods for health expert systems industry. Reasoning techniques has provided greatest support for predicting diagnosing and treatment of disease with correct case of results. Diabetes needs greatest support of reasoning techniques for diagnosis and treatment. This paper focus on the main technical characteristics of four reasoning methodologies which are commonly used in developing diabetic expert systems, namely; reasoning with production rules, fuzzy reasoning, case-based reasoning, and ontological-case based reasoning. In addition, this paper proposes the best reasoning technique for diabetic expert systems. The main result of this study covers a variety of four reasoning methodologies, which reveals that case based reasoning paradigm is the best reasoning technique methodology regarding to the issues of maintenance,powerful and knowledge representations.
