Expert procedures implementation in software catalogues

The development of expert systems, implemented in software catalogues, was taken into consideration in this paper. The need of simplifying the choice process requires the assessment of simple rules to organise the parameters characterising the system or the mechanical component to be chosen. Nowadays the designer, when the aim is to choose a component, usually prompts up a wide search, maybe by using web-internet devices and search engines or simply directly contacting some resellers. Aim of this paper is to develop a procedure, implemented into a software program, that enables to build software mechanical components catalogues by using an expert system. The schematic representation of the components enabled to obtain a simple and useful tool to solve the choice problem.
