A Computer-aided Expert System for NMR Experiment Design

A computer-aided expert system for NMR experiment design was proposed and implemented.Its inference core and user interface were constructed with CLIPS and Visual C++,respectively.Given information on a targeting problem,sample characteristics and spectrometer functions,the system can give suggestions on what experiments should be carried out.After given the feedbacks on the experiments already performed,the system can give advices on further experiment.This interactive procedure can be iterated.For a suggested experiment,the system also provides detailed information on pulse sequence,parameter settings,and items to note.The system can be used for computer-aided instruction purpose in NMR tutoring.
