Corporate
Information
Knowledgebased Systems Corporation
started out as Electrical Electronics Engineering. We incorporated in 1984
as an engineering company that specialized in industrial products design
and installation of things such as motor control centers, residential and
commercial building electrical power design and heat trace design for
petro-chemical plants. In 1985, EEEI shifted focus from industrial to
computers and never looked back. In 1989 the company shifted again to
expert systems KBSC was spun off as a separate corporation. EEEI went out
of business in 1992.
The first major expert system project on
which KBSC worked was with FedEx in Dallas,
Texas. In February of 1997 the Logistics, Electronic Commerce
and Catalogs (LEC&C) division of FedEx wanted to set up an intelligent
supply chain management system called Virtual Enterprise Architecture. What they needed was a rulebased
system to intelligently manage the process and finally selected KBSC to
head up the rule team.
From there we consulted on various
projects for such companies as Neuron Data on the Houston Light and Power
(Expert) and the Norwest
Financials (Expert Sapphire); Ericsson Telecommunications (Geobility -
OPSJ); Bell South Telecommunications (PMAP - JRules); Lloyds TSB London
(Loan Eligibility and Pricing - JRules); GMAC Insurance (Auto Underwriting
- JRules) and Northrop Grumman (GTN21 Project - JRules); O2 Germany (House
of Products – JRules) and for Informatix (Secure Border Initiative – Jess
and OPSJ).
Today, we specialize in many different kinds
of Business Rule Management Systems (BRMS) - the same thing that used to be
called rulebased systems by the AI companies. We offer both consulting and training. Some of the
commercial products with which we are familiar and some with which we are
intimately familiar are:
- JRules

- Advisor
(Fair Isaac Corporation)
- OPSJ
(Production Systems Technology)
- CLIPS
(NASA)
- Jess
(Sandia Labs)
- JBoss Rules
- Mind Box
- Corticon – to some degree… J
- Expert (Fair Isaac Corporation) an older,
fully-opportunistic, backward-chaining system
