Classe de systèmes experts qui inclut les systèmes à base de règles (SBR). Chaque règle de la base de connaissances et rédigée de manière associative en ignorant l'existence des autres. Chaque règle comporte des conditions (filtres) qui permettent d'évaluer si la règle est applicable ou non. Les faits introduits comme effets d'une règle contribuent à appeler d'autres règles au moyen de leurs filtres. Les inférences dirigées par filtres confèrent aux systèmes-experts une meilleure modularité. 1, record 5, French, - syst%C3%A8me%20d%27inf%C3%A9rences%20dirig%C3%A9%20par%20filtres

Expert systems are pattern-directed inference systems(PDIS). But not all PDIS are expert systems. In some PDIS the patterns are more complex(than in ES), and their structures depend on the problems which are to be solved(pattern-based or boolean operators, semantic networks, procedural attachment, etc.). 1, record 6, English, - pattern%2Ddirected
