This paper outlines the achievements made in the area of small expert systems, in particular the use of multiple Fuzzy Neural Networks (FuNN) within a single application implemented on a Palm sized device (Personal Digital Assistant or PDA). Also discussed is the opportunity for using the architecture as a generic problem solving method -- if a Neural Network is an appropriate solution to a problem then a PDA based implementation becomes possible. An overview of a real-world problem is presented. The proposed solution is outlined, as is the use of Fuzzy Neural Networks in the building of a small expert system. The generic architecture implemented, and the reasons for using such a structure, is discussed. Finally, the options for future development are outlined, as proposed by expert evaluators and system developers.
