In this paper we describe an experiment designed to study the problem solving behavior of a group of knowledge engineers. The subjects are knowledge engineers trained in the Generic Task framework (Chandrasekaran, 1989). The study has two aims: (1) to evaluate the degree of consistency among a set of engineers trained in the same high-level framework in order to assure the presence of a consist...

Recent work within the CBR community has studied more systematic means of interrelating different types of domain knowledge, tasks, and methods for building and maintaining CBR systems. This paper reviews work from the knowledge acquisition community, targeted at methodologies and tools for analysis, modeling, and maintenance of knowledge components. It is argued that the knowledge level is the...
