The Reuse of Knowledge: Research, Issues and the Ripple-Down Rules Approach
- : As in software engineering, there are many potential benefits of reuse in knowledge engineering. Most research into the reuse of knowledge is concerned with the reuse of problem solving methods, the reuse of ontologies or the development and sharing of commonsense knowledge. However, the amount

Is interactivity actually important
- It appears that it is a well-accepted assumption that interactivity will improve the entertainment and/or learning value of a media. This paper reviews various studies exploring the role of interactivity and reports on a study conducted to see whether a novice could learn some basic skills on how to

Visualising Knowledge Based Systems
- : Knowledge acquisition and the generation of explanations from rule-based systems continue to be problem areas in knowledge-based systems. The difficulties encountered are often due to the modeling nature of these tasks. Since models are often best represented diagrammatically it seems reasonable t

Reconciling Conflicting Sources of Expertise: A Framework and Illustration
- : Many KA research groups are currently focused on the reuse and sharing of ontologies as a means to alleviate the KA bottleneck. Such endeavours often take for granted that a shared view already exists and thereby avoid the problem of reconciling differences. A fundamental problem associated with r

The Visualisation of Multiple Views to Support Knowledge Reuse
- : The difficulties associated with acquirinng and validating knowledge have driven researchers to focus on ways to reduce this bottleneck in the development of knowledge based systems. Unfortunately, the needs of users have taken a back seat with the needs of knowledge engineers moving into the driv

A Process Model for Requirements Elicitation
- Despite improvements in various activities making up the software development process, the elicitation, analysis and modelling of user requirements remain as one of the least explored and have the least satisfactory scientific foundations. The approach to be explored takes lowlevel requirements, whi

Composing Web Services using an Agent Factory
- Web service composition can provide a value-chain between customers and suppliers. The increasing number of services, and thus possible combinations, demands the development of dynamic and automatic techniques for their composition. Current commercial solutions are limited and are primarily static a

An Alternative Verification and Validation Technique for An Alternative Knowledge Representation and Acquisition Technique.
- : Ripple-Down Rules (RDR) are an alternative from mainstream approaches to the building of knowledge based systems (KBS). RDR use simple, but reliable, techniques for Knowledge Acquisition (KA) and representation which have been shown to support the on-line development, maintenance and validation of

Graphically Defining Articulable Tacit Knowledge
- Although codified knowledge and its capture is commonplace, tacit knowledge has up until recent years proved elusive in its inclusion within the organisation's knowledge base. Codified knowledge or articulate knowledge is knowledge that we are all quite familiar with and includes for all intents and

Semantic Markup for Semantic Web Tools: A DAML-S description of an RDF-Store
- Easy integration of available tools will be a key success factor for the future of the Semantic Web. We envision that semantic descriptions of the tools themselves will play an important part in addressing this issue. Motivated by this vision we used DAML-S (a key initiative to support automated
