Knowledge engineering: theory and practice

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5342314
Due to the recent dramatic increase in computing power and the concomitant decrease in computing cost, many researchers are attempting to design computing systems to solve complicated problems or execute tasks which have in the past been performed by human experts. The focus of knowledge engineering is the construction of such complex, knowledge-based, expert computing systems. The author briefly describes ACE, a knowledge-based for automated cable expertise, which is designed to provide support for management analysis, automating decision making for telephone cable maintenance. The development of ACE, undertaken by Bell Telephone Laboratories two years ago, demonstrates in a forceful way the manner in which AI techniques can be applied to significant and practical real-world problems. 14 references.
