8.13 You are to create a system for advising computer science undergraduates on what courses to take over an extended period in order to satisfy the program requirements. (Use whatever requirements are appropriate for your institution.) First, decide on a vocabulary for representing all the information, then represent it; then use an appropriate query to the system, that will return a legal program of study as a solution. You should allow for some tailoring to individual students, in that your system should ask the student what courses or equivalents he has already taken, and not generate programs that repeat those courses.

Suggest ways in which your system could be improved, for example to take into account knowledge about student preferences, workload, good and bad instructors, and so on. For each kind of knowledge, explain how it could be expressed logically. Could your system easily incorporate this information to find the best program of study for a student?
