Multi Attribute Approach to Admission Process Expert System

Abstract

The current practice of tertiary admission selection process using the partially automated system, has constantly led to biases and errors as the applications are still processed manually. An alternative solution for the problem using artificial intelligence approach was applied in this research with the integration of Multi Attribute approach to Admission Process Expert System to make the processes more systematic, efficient and reliable.

This study deals the use of expert system in solving the problems inherent in the current system. Visual Prolog is used as the development tool because of its capabilities as an expert system programming language using a natural mode of expression.

This software considers students for admission with reference to specified requirements thus eliminating the problems of the currents system. The findings of this research reveals that expert system can help to solve this problem effectively as it is easy to use and does not require any special hardware.
