SYSTEM DEVELOPMENT<br />
This chapter describes the implementation of Knowledge-Based Horse Diagnosis System<br />
(HDS), which began with system specification, functional and non-functional<br />
requirements. LPA W<strong>in</strong>-Prolog programm<strong>in</strong>g language was used <strong>in</strong> the development of<br />
the system that consists of a database of facts and logical relationships (rules). The rules<br />
describe the relationships, which hold for the given application. The system will <strong>in</strong>teract<br />
with the user, ask<strong>in</strong>g questions to establish <strong>in</strong>formation that is needed to execute the<br />
rules.<br />
5.1 System Specification<br />
The HDS performed horse <strong>behavior</strong> analysis; causes, visual cues and environmental cues<br />
to develop skills and knowledge for the users. Most system developers were emphasized<br />
on the importance of knowledge-based diagnosis system as a medium.<br />
5.1.1 Functional Requirements<br />
The functional requirements of HDS were to (a) capture and analyze the horse’s<br />
<strong>behavior</strong>, (b) scan the facts and logical relationships (rules) of horse <strong>behavior</strong>, (c) locate<br />
and identify the causes, visual cues, and environmental cues, and (d) <strong>in</strong>teract with users<br />
