Knowledge Acquisition (KA) Scripts capture typical modification sequences that users follow when they modify knowledge bases. KA tools can use these Scripts to guide users in making these modifications, ensuring that they follow all the ramifications of the change until it is completed. This paper describes our approach to design, develop, and organize a library of KA Scripts. We report the res...

We will neglect so called quasi-problems of knowledge management, such as: group knowledge, organizational memory or organizational learning. The thing that is not a quasi-problem, but is not considered at all is the question: How much influence does the group/organization have on expert/decision makers learning? This question could be also examined using knowledge-based system, similarly as Ko...

The knowledge-based system COFEX (Cold Forging Expert) has been developed to assist in the planning of the cold forging of a wide variety of tubular steel components. Following user-input of the required shape and dimensions of the finished forging, together with as many different sequences as desired, each operation is examined by the system by consulting the knowledge-base process rules and d...

Adding knowledge to a knowledge-based system is not monotonically bene cial. We discuss and experimentally validate this observation in the context of CABINS, a system that learns control knowledge for iterative repair in ill-structured optimization problems. In CABINS, situation-dependent user's decisions that guide the repair process are captured in cases together with contextual problem info...
