List of applications built with VP-Expert
This page lists applications that were built with the rule-based expert system shell VP-Expert, published by Paperback Software.
Per WP:NLIST, this list is limited to applications for which an independent, reliable source explicitly states the system was built with the VP-Expert shell (journals, refereed proceedings, or government/academic technical reports).
