When the system is complex, the development strategy is Prototyping of the System.
Prototyping is a process of progressively ascertaining the information needs, developing
methodology, trying it out on a smaller scale with respect to the data and the complexity,
ensuring that it satisfies the needs of the users, and assessing the problems of development and

5. Explain the Advantages and Disadvantages of Neural Networks (NN). Define Expert
Systems and its components.
a) Explanation of Advantages and Disadvantages of Neural Networks (NN).
b) Definition of Expert Systems and its components.
Answer: a) Advantages of Neural Networks:
Neural networks are used to forecast some complex data patterns. When designed properly,
they can be used as experts for a particular project. They have the ability to adjust to the
changing environment and thus are very flexible. For example, they can forecast net asset
values of mutual funds with 40% accuracy. They take into account all variables, relationships
between the data and detect patterns and trends in any set of data.
