I'm interested in all kinds of computer programs either for indoor or outdoor running on any personal computer. Does anyone have experience in using a computer to plan her/his gardening and diagnose deseases of the plants? I know there are many knowledge based systems for many different domains. Does anyone know a similar application for gardening? I appreciate any response and discussion on this question.

It has been tested out on the following examples in the literature: The microcomputer exmaple, Figure 8 [1] The figure example, Figure 6 [2` He needs answers to the following two questions: Does anyone have any more extensive test data for it. Does anyone know how to generate artificial test data of arbitrary size for this algorithm.

I don't know about gardening, but there was a project over here about three years ago in the domain of crop disease diagnosis, which might give you some useful pointers. It was a collaboration between ICI (Imperial Chemical Industries, who make grungy chemicals for killing bugs) and a small (then, at least) software house called, I think, ISI. ISI produced a fairly standard es-shell for the project called _Savoir_. [If you think this is a long prelude, you're right - I can't remember the name of the project :-( ] There was a paper on it at one of the _Expert Systems '8n_ conferences held by the BCS (where member( n, [5, 6, 7] )) Apologies for the fallible memory... > I appreciate any response and discussion on this question. Thanks, Parvis. You are welcome - sorry it's a rather broad-band response.
