This paper presents ACKTUS, a modeling tool for developing knowledge-based systems for the health domain, and an evaluation study of the system. The main purpose of the evaluation was to investigate whether the functionality and interaction design of ACKTUS was sufficiently intuitive for the domain experts to contribute with knowledge and to model the interaction design of the three end users’ ...

From the student feedback questionnaire, some students opined that the concepts of fluid mechanics are quite abstract and that they have difficulty in grasping the phenomena in real life situation. Hence, it demands some innovative learning methodologies to help arouse their interest. This paper depicts the development and implementation of an interactive teaching package on learning of basic f...

The fDS approach to Japanese-to-English MT found sponsorship from the British Government and ICL from 1984 as part of ALVEY (IKBS project no.25, carried out at the University of Sheffield, England in cooperation with ICL and Kobe University, Japan). When the Japanese to English part of the ALVEY project was successfully concluded in 1987, resulting in the creation of AIDTRANS, SHARP Corporation...

The International Conference on Successes and Failures of Knowledge-Based Systems (KBSs) in Real-World Applications was held at the Asian Institute of Technology (Bangkok, Thailand) on October 28-30, 1996. This report provides a presentation of the papers and the discussions during the conference. The conference focused on some new issues that were rarely addressed before. Among the main result...

Abstract: In this paper a general methodology for minimum weight selection of structural joints is reviewed. The evaluation and selection technique is based on analytical weight formulae for structural joints including different joining technologies for which through the use of Buckingham’s Pi-Theorem a complete set of dimensionless similarity parameters is derived. This formal approach offers ...

This paper describes a model of knowledge-based system for integrating CAM and CNC operations. In detail, the main concern of integration is driven by proposed standardized check list as a part of product data which is useful for capturing and managing the knowledge based activities done by CAM operators and CNC machine operators in assessing product data before proceeded into CNC machining pro...

Evaluation and selection of the software packages is complicated and time consuming decision making process. Selection of inappropriate software package can turn out to be costly and adversely affects business processes and functioning of the organization. In this paper we describe (i) generic methodology for software selection, (ii) software evaluation criteria, and (iii) hybrid knowledge base...

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...
