Intelligent agents must have a model of the dynamics of the domain in which they act. Models can be encoded by human experts or, as required by autonomous systems, automatically acquired from observation. At the state of the art, there exist several systems for automated acquisition of planning domain models. In this paper we present a brief overview of the automated tools that can be exploited...

This paper gives an overview of the development of the field of Knowledge Engineering over the last 15 years. We discuss the paradigm shift from a transfer view to a modeling view and describe two approaches which considerably shaped research in Knowledge Engineering: Role-limiting Methods and Generic Tasks. To illustrate various concepts and methods which evolved in recent years we describe th...

C. Mohan and I. Narang. Recovery and coherency-control protocols for fast inter-system page transfer and ne-granularity locking in a shared disks transaction environment .

Research questions and practical exchange between Knowledge Engineering for intelligent systems and Software Engineering of advanced software programs have been fruitfully discussed over the last years. Many successful examples demonstrate the clear symbiosis between these two research areas. In 2005 the KESE workshops took place for the first time in Koblenz at the 28th German Conference on Ar...

Knowledge-enhanced economy will be based on economic transactions for intangible products and processes. As a product and as a catalysator of production the internal and external transfer of knowledge will bring impulses to the management and the processes of organisations. The organisations dependencies are coming from the form of market, from the objectives of enterprise as well as from the i...

Argumentation concepts have been applied to numerous knowledge engineering endeavours in recent years. For example, a variety of logics have been developed to represent argumentation in the context of a dialectical situation such as a dialogue. In contrast to the dialectical approach, argumentation has also been used to structure knowledge. This can be seen as a non-dialectical approach. The To...

Knowledge management is a research topic that encompasses various domains. It is proved that both knowledge codification and social interaction can improve knowledge sharing in an organization, and IT has always been a powerful technology to support knowledge management cycle, especially on knowledge capturing, storage or even sharing. Knowledge engineering is an engineering science that repres...

Let's read! We will often find out this sentence everywhere. When still being a kid, mom used to order us to always read, so did the teacher. Some books are fully read in a week and we need the obligation to support reading. What about now? Do you still love reading? Is reading only for you who have obligation? Absolutely not! We here offer you a new book enPDFd knowledge engineering unifying k...

The paper describes the construction of domain ontology of optics for educational purposes and its possible application in scientific museums.. A short description of the domain knowledge structure is given. Patterns used to resolve the knowledge engineering problem in the optics make one doubt about the sufficiency of OWL expressivity for correct representation of specific relationships pronou...
