A CAS aid to the elaboration of the expert system supporting the managing the monolitic construction Original Research Article

Elaborating the expert system mentioned in the title requires the generation of expressions which describe the work of a crane (loading capacity, horizontal and vertical ranges). In this paper a non-standard use of a CAS (computer algebra system) does this task. Advantages of this approach, especially the fast determination of function fitting to given set of points and instant function drawing, makes a CAS (such as DERIVE) very helpful to a knowledge engineer as well as to a manager working at the building plot.
