   eXperimental LISP
  
      (xlisp) An experimental programming language
      combining a subset of {Common Lisp} with an {object-oriented}

      implemented by David Micheal Betz at Apple to allow
      experimentation with {object-oriented programming} on small
      computers.   The {C} {source code} has been ported to {Unix},
      {Microsoft Windows}, {Macintosh}, {Amiga}, {Atari}, and

   Expert Judgement Models
  
      A method of software estimation that is based on

      with similar projects.   An expert-consensus mechanism such as

   expert system
  
      A computer program that contains a
      {knowledge base} and a set of {algorithms} or rules that infer
      new facts from knowledge and from incoming data.
  
      An expert system is an {artificial intelligence} application
      that uses a knowledge base of human expertise to aid in
      solving problems.   The degree of problem solving is based on
      the quality of the data and rules obtained from the human
      expert.   Expert systems are designed to perform at a human
      expert level.   In practice, they will perform both well below
      and well above that of an individual expert.
  
      The expert system derives its answers by running the knowledge
      base through an {inference engine}, a software program that
      interacts with the user and processes the results from the
      rules and data in the knowledge base.
  
      Expert systems are used in applications such as medical
      diagnosis, equipment repair, investment analysis, financial,
      estate and insurance planning, route scheduling for delivery
      vehicles, contract bidding, counseling for self-service
      customers, production control and training.

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
   expression
  
      Any piece of program code in a {high-level
      language} which, when (if) its execution terminates, returns a
      value.   In most programming languages, expressions consist of
      constants, variables, operators, functions, and {parentheses}.
      The operators and functions may be built-in or user defined.
      Languages differ on how expressions of different {types} may
      be combined - with some combination of explicit {casts} and
      implicit {coercions}.
  
      The {syntax} of expressions generally follows conventional
      mathematical notation, though some languages such as {Lisp} or
      {Forth} have their own idiosyncratic syntax.
