Abstract

MOLTKE is a research project dealing with a complex technical application. After describing the domain of CNC machining centers and the applied KA methods, we summarize the concrete KA problems which we have to handle. Then we describe a KA mechanism which supports an engineer in developing a diagnosis system. In chapter 6 we introduce learning techniques operating on diagnostic cases and domain knowledge for improving the diagnostic procedure of MOLTKE. In the last section of this chapter we outline some essential aspects of organizational knowledge which is heavily applied by engineers for analysing such technical systems (Qualitative Engineering). Finally we give a short overview of the actual state of realization and our future plans. 1. Introduction The aim of the MOLTKE 3 -project is to show that a complex technical problem can be put to an economical solution using expert system technology. The domain of CNC machining centers is used as an exemplary domain. The solution enco...
