An inference engine tries to derive answers from a knowledge base. It is the brain of the expert systems that provides a methodology for reasoning about the information in the knowledge base, and for formulating conclusions.

Inference engine has three main elements. They are:

1. An interpreter. It executes the chosen agenda items by applying the corresponding base rules.

2. A scheduler. It maintains control over the agenda by estimating the effects of applying inference rules in light of item priorities or other criteria on the agenda.

3. A consistency enforcer. It attempts to maintain a consistent representation of the emerging solution.

InferenceTo infer is to draw a conclusion. To infer that X is to conclude that X is true; an inference is the conclusion drawn from a set of facts or circumstances. Much of the study of logic explores the validity or invalidity of inferences and implications.

Inference procedureAn inference procedure is a key component of the knowledge engineering process, sometimes known as abduction. After all preliminary information gathering and modeling is completed, queries are passed to the inference procedure to get answers. In this step
