Knowledge acquisition for a fluid bed reactor expert system

摘要

Abstract: Knowledge acquisition has frequently been identified as the bottleneck in knowledge engineering. Many techniques for knowledge acquisition have been developed, but this paper goes further to present a complete methodology. The use of general questions, specific questions, direct observation, the proper knowledge representation format, teachback techniques, and simulations form that methodology. An expert system created for advising the operators of a reactor on the condition of the rector shows how each phase of the methodology can be applied to the knowledge acquisition process. !10
