- Embedded systems
- Part of a larger system
(usually control systems)
- They include portable devices like satnavs and
camera, but also larger installations like traffic lights
- Can be very simple or highly complex

in machinery, etc.
- Used for diagnosing
diseases, finding faults
in machinery, etc.
- They have three
component parts:
- 1) A knowledge base (a database of facts)
- 2) An inference engine (software
that makes deductions using the
knowledge base)
- 3) An interface (to allow a
human user access the system)
