title: Feasibility study concerning the use of expert systems for the development of procedures in pharmaceutical analysis.
abstract: The feasibility of using expert systems for the development of analytical procedures is investigated. A system for the computer generation of procedures to determine active drug substances in commercial formulations is proposed. It is shown that in nearly 85% of the cases investigated the present system immediately yields a correct procedure or conclusion. It is concluded that selecting methods and developing procedures with the use of expert systems is difficult but feasible.
