Neota Logic System 5.2 Released

New York, NY – February 15, 2012 –Neota Logic Inc. today announced the release of Neota Logic System 5.2, the latest version of its unique platform for delivering the knowledge of experts in an operationally useful form—as interactive browser applications or embedded in business systems.

Among many enhancements, Version 5.2 includes a new Decision Table reasoning tool. This new method of representing logic is an Excel-like grid that is particuarly efficient for very rapid construction of sets of related rules, such as rules for evaluating medical test results. Subject matter experts can create or update rules offline in a tool they are already familiar with, Microsoft Excel, from which the new or updated rules are imported automatically into the Neota Logic System.

Version 5.2 also includes a new user interface design mechanism, based on the latest html and css standards, which enables authors to collaborate more easily with graphic designers to create custom interfaces for Neota Logic applications.

"Our focus in this release has been on speed in development," said Michael Mills, Chief Executive Officer. "Version 5.2 makes it even easier to build complex expert applications, and to update them quickly as rules change."
