Acquisition and understanding of process knowledge using problem solving methods

Acquisition and understanding of process knowledge using problem solving methods / José Manuel Gómez-Pérez.

The development of knowledge-based systems is usually approached through the combined skills of knowledge engineers (KEs) and subject matter experts (SMEs). One of the most critical steps in this activity aims at transferring knowledge from SMEs to formal, machine-readable representations, which all...
