This is a DRAFT version of a paper that will be finalized and submitted for publication in January 2013

In today’s knowledge-based economy and fast growing world, it is the countries with workforces that are creative, adaptable, and skillful that will gain competitive advantage; therefore countries worldwide are designing and implementing policies to attract “the best and brightest” talents that are essential to their success. Highly skilled immigrants or foreign workers have made significant con...

Multiple-valued logics are useful for dealing with uncertainty and imprecision in knowledge-based systems. In this paper, we present the foundations of QMORPH: a tool that assists users in the declaration of such logics and in the declaration of the communication mechanism between two of these different logics by preserving inference.

Spend your time even for only few minutes to read a book. Reading a book will never reduce and waste your time to be useless. Reading, for some people become a need that is to do every day such as spending time for eating. Now, what about you? Do you like to read a book? Now, we will show you a new book enPDFd foundations of intelligent knowledge based systems that can be a new way to explore t...

The paper introduces a task model for the redesign of compositional knowledge-based systems based on a generic task model of design. A generic task model of design provides an abstract description of a design task and a generic structure which can be refined for design tasks in specific domains of application. A generic task model of design, shown to incorporate redesign, is presented and refin...

A major question facing the development of sophisticated robotics systems is how to capture the functionality seen in versatile living systems. An approach that has proven useful in designing complex systems is to capture the explicit constraints in a knowledge based system. In this paper, we discuss a knowledge-based planning system under development that attempts to capture the versatility of...
