Active Knowledge Engineering Lab The Active Knowledge Engineering Lab activities include investigations that are about discovering, externalizing, expressing, representing, sharing, exploring, configuring, activating, growing and managing enterprise knowledge as well as designing new programming platforms based on mentioned above principles. This year we have been focused on the following topic...

In today’s competitive environment, it becomes imperative to look for innovative ideas to bring high quality product to market in a short time, especially in the context of engineering products which is highly knowledge and experience driven. Knowledge based engineering (KBE) will help engineering organizations to efficiently utilize their existing product knowledge base to launch innovative pr...

We introduce a methodology for automating the maintenance of domain-specific taxonomies based on natural language text understanding. A given ontology is incrementally updated as new concepts are acquired from real-world texts. The acquisition process is centered around the linguistic and conceptual “quality” of various forms of evidence underlying the generation and refinement of concept hypot...

Continuous Knowledge Engineering is an alternative approach to knowledge engineering that embraces the philosophy that knowledge systems are open-ended, dynamic artefacts that develop through a learning process in reaction to their environment. This approach is based on the debate on symbolic and situated models of human cognition and aims to make knowledge engineering a learning process by adh...

Knowledge Engineering is an important concept in recent years. Knowledge Engineering is the aspect of system engineering which addresses uncertain process requirements by emphasizing the acquisition of knowledge about a process and representing this knowledge in a Knowledge-based System. The purpose of this paper is to discuss how to use the basic principles of knowledge engineering to solve th...

Several technologies are emerging that provide new ways to capture, store, present and use knowledge. This book is the first to provide a comprehensive introduction to five of the most important of these technologies: Knowledge Engineering, Knowledge Based Engineering, Knowledge Webs, Ontologies and Semantic Webs. For each of these, answers are given to a number of key questions (What is it? Ho...
