Description:	In this paper the expert system approach is proposed to assist the agricultural researcher in selecting an appropriate design of experiments. A prototype of this system, named GALILEO, is introduced. A generic session of the system has two steps, the firstis the classification of the researcher demand in five possible types: exploratory research, hypothesis test, parameter estimation, comparison of alternatives, and estimation of populational parameters; and the second is the definition of the bettter experimental design, according to the objectives of the research, the informations about the environment, and the existence of constraints. The experimental designs considered were completely randomized, randomized blocks, split-plot, and factorial, with theirscombinations; in sampling were considered simple randomized and stratified. An example is given that illustrates an application of the system and future extensions are proposed. It is also presented a lettle glossary of statistics terms used in the text.
