This is achieved by covering the KBS development process from identifying a feasible application, through knowledge elicitation by various techniques, up to the production of a detailed design ready for implementation.
Emphasis is placed on the modelling of expertise.
The course presents the life-cycle of a typical KBS project, outlining techniques and methods to assist with each stage. This course is not linked to any specific programming tool, although it does consider how to produce a design which is appropriate to the intended tool. The course is intended for knowledge engineers and other technical specialists who are interested in a methodological approach for developing knowledge based systems, or who are searching for enabling technologies to support the development of knowledge based systems. Some knowledge of KBS development tools and a small amount of programming experience is also desirable. This costing is on the basis of the standard course for participants from one organization at our site.
