(1) Computer-Based Medical Consultations: MYCIN.

(2) This paper deals with some defects of MYCIN inexact inference in theory, which are discussed with the practice of earthquake prediction.

(3) This paper applies the MYCIN inexact inference method to the comprehensive earthquake prediction.

(4) It's necessary to improve the MYCIN system with the development of artificial intelligence technology.

(5) This article provides an idea for optimizing the MYCIN system, which makes the MYCIN system to have a function of self-studying, and each configuration of the optimized MYCIN system is analyzed.

(6) MYCIN system is a typical expert system based on rule which has a wide scope for application.

(7) The best known, perhaps, was in 1972-73 MYCIN expert system for diagnosing blood diseases, with a real engine and real rule base.
