This chapter introduces some of the key concepts in knowledge engineering. Almost all of the topics are covered in summary form, and they will be explained in more detail in subsequent chapters.

This chapter builds on the brief introduction to different types of knowledge-based systems from the first chapter and provides you with the opportunity to explore them in greater depth.

In this chapter we will be looking at knowledge acquisition, i.e., the process of obtaining the knowledge to be stored in a knowledge-based system.

In this chapter on knowledge representation, we will be looking at different knowledge representation schemes including rules, frames and semantic networks.

This chapter extends your knowledge of knowledge-based systems by providing the opportunity for you to familiarise yourself with the tools for their development.

In this chapter we will be looking at life cycles and methodologies designed to support the development of knowledge-based systems (KBSs). We will be revisiting prototyping, which you have probably encountered before.

In this chapter we will be looking at the need to build facilities for handling uncertainty into knowledge-based systems (KBSs).

In Chapter 6, you encountered the concept of a hybrid system where a conventional system and a knowledge-based system (KBS) can be coupled to achieve specific aims by drawing on the features of both types of system. In this chapter we will explore the rationale behind and the implications of coupling oneKBSwith another KBS.
