Abstract
An intelligent front end is a user-friendly interface to a software package, which
uses Artificial Intelligence techniques to enable the user to interact with the computer
using his/her own terminology rather than that demanded by the package. Several
such systems exist and provide interfaces for finite element. statistical and simulation
packages, and the area is an important area of growth for expert systems. In this
paper we discuss the techniques required in an intelligent front end and whether
general tools can be provided for their construction.
