I'm sorry if you have already posted it, but is there any roadmap to implement the backward chaining in this CLIPS distribution?
I saw some implementations, such as Huyck's Implementation (http://www.cwa.mdx.ac.uk/bis2040/backchain/backchain.html), design examples (https://www.csie.ntu.edu.tw/~sylee/courses/clips/design.htm), and an ancient extended CLIPS implementation published by Peter V. Homeier and Thach C. Le (http://ftp.cs.ucla.edu/pub/homeier/papers/eclips.pdf).
Moreover, do you have any tip about starting an expert system project involving backward reasoning and CLIPS-like logic structure language?
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
I have no short to mid term plans (in the next 3 to 5 years) for implementating backward chaining. There are multiple ways to implement backward chaining, so you would need to decide which method is most suitable to your needs. In addition to a literature review, you should also look at tools such as Jess and Drools to see if their implementation suits your needs. Here's a paper which describes a technique for implementing backward chaining in forward chaining languages: https://ntrs.nasa.gov/archive/nasa/casi.ntrs.nasa.gov/19920007380.pdf
