Maintenance of Knowledge-based Systems by Frans Coenen,Trevor J. M. Bench-Capon Pdf

The practical take-up of Knowledge Based Systems (KBSs) is usually described as disappointing. One explanation of the reluctance of organisations to make a real commitment to these systems stems from the lack of well-defined techniques to engineer them in an acceptable manner. Without the assurance of quality that can be given by the use of a proven methodology, the risk of investing substantially in these systems will remain a risk too great to be taken. One of the chief manifestations of the lack of these techniques is that it is impossible to say with any assurance that it will be possible to maintain the systems so that their useful life can be extended. This book is concerned with the maintenance of KBSs, providing a balance between the academic and the practical, and containing analysis of tools developed in a research project. The intention of the book is to move from very general concerns available to all systems through to specific techniques and tools designed to address particular problems in particular representations, before concluding with some more general remarks. This book is essential reading for anyone, whether in a commercial or academic environment who wishes to build a serious Knowledge Based System that will continue to be used over a period of time. * SPECIAL FEATURES: * Building a Knowledge Based System is not the end of the story: the system must be used, and during its period of use, theknoledge on which it relies will change and develop. A Knowledge Based Ssystem that is not to become rapidly obselete must change and develop with it. * This book addresses this neglected area of maintenance, emhasising the specific maintenance tasks required by a Knowledge Based System. * The book provides a balance between the academic and the practical, and containg analysis of tools developed in a research project.

Validation and Verification of Knowledge Based Systems by Anca Vermesan,Frans Coenen Pdf

Knowledge-based (KB) technology is being applied to complex problem-solving and critical tasks in many application domains. Concerns have naturally arisen as to the dependability of knowledge-based systems (KBS). As with any software, attention to quality and safety must be paid throughout development of a KBS and rigorous verification and validation (V&V) techniques must be employed. Research in V&V of KBS has emerged as a distinct field only in the last decade and is intended to address issues associated with quality and safety aspects of KBS and to credit such applications with the same degree of dependability as conventional applications. In recent years, V&V of KBS has been the topic of annual workshops associated with the main AI conferences, such as AAAI, IJACI and ECAI. Validation and Verification of Knowledge Based Systems contains a collection of papers, dealing with all aspects of KBS V&V, presented at the Fifth European Symposium on Verification and Validation of Knowledge Based Systems and Components (EUROVAV'99 - which was held in Oslo in the summer of 1999, and was sponsored by Det Norske Veritas and the British Computer Society's Specialist Group on Expert Systems (SGES).

Knowledge Engineering Tools and Techniques for AI Planning by Mauro Vallati,Diane Kitchin Pdf

This book presents a comprehensive review for Knowledge Engineering tools and techniques that can be used in Artificial Intelligence Planning and Scheduling. KE tools can be used to aid in the acquisition of knowledge and in the construction of domain models, which this book will illustrate. AI planning engines require a domain model which captures knowledge about how a particular domain works - e.g. the objects it contains and the available actions that can be used. However, encoding a planning domain model is not a straightforward task - a domain expert may be needed for their insight into the domain but this information must then be encoded in a suitable representation language. The development of such domain models is both time-consuming and error-prone. Due to these challenges, researchers have developed a number of automated tools and techniques to aid in the capture and representation of knowledge. This book targets researchers and professionals working in knowledge engineering, artificial intelligence and software engineering. Advanced-level students studying AI will also be interested in this book.

Knowledge-Based Systems for Multiple Environments by Ladislav J. Kohout,John Anderson,Wyllis Bandler Pdf

First published in 1992, this volume identifies the problems facing the designer of multi-environmental knowledge-based systems, and explains the principles that must be followed in order to obtain successful results. Systems called upon to function in a variety of widely differing cultural and natural environments can only do so satisfactorily if from the very beginning they have been designed with this versatility in mind. For the first time, the know-how for this often formidable design task has been gathered together and presented here. This study was written to an overall plan, with chapters commissioned from a group of research of quite diversified back-grounds who had deeply explored their subjects. Each topic was thus covered in close connection with the others, so as to form a coherent whole. While primarily aimed at workers in Artificial Intelligence and Expert Systems, as well as designers of other kinds of sophisticated software, the contents of the book are of wider validity, just as the multi-environmental demands are of wider incidence. Manufactures, exporters and importers of computing technology with a large knowledge component will also find their concerns addressed.

Handbook for Evaluating Knowledge-Based Systems by Leonard Adelman,Sharon L. Riedel Pdf

Knowledge-based systems are increasingly found in a wide variety of settings and this handbook has been written to meet a specific need in their widening use. While there have been many successful applications of knowledge-based systems, some applications have failed because they never received the corrective feedback that evaluation provides for keeping development focused on the users' needs in their actual working environment. This handbook provides a conceptual framework and compendium of methods for performing evaluations of knowledge-based systems during their development. Its focus is on the users' and subject matter experts' evaluation of the usefulness of the system, and not on the developers' testing of the adequacy of the programming code. The handbook permits evaluators to systematically answer the following kinds of questions: Does the knowledge-based system meet the users' task requirements? Is the system easy to use? Is the knowledge base logically consistent? Does it meet the required level of expertise? Does the system improve performance? The authors have produced a handbook that will serve two audiences: a tool that can be used to create knowledge-based systems (practitioners, developers, and evaluators) and a framework that will stimulate more research in the area (academic researchers and students). To accomplish this, the handbook is built around a conceptual framework that integrates the different types of evaluations into the system of development process. The kinds of questions that can be answered, and the methods available for answering them, will change throughout the system development life cycle. And throughout this process, one needs to know what can be done, and what can't. It is this dichotomy that addresses needs in both the practitioner and academic research audiences.
