Hello Jason I am a PhD student in Computing, University of Tasmania, Australia using Jess in a pseudo expert system which relies on the notion that users can learn to become experts. They construct their own "ontology" .. with the aid of software. There is research into knowledge-base-free expert systems and how to draw hierarchic (Richards) and mesh inferences(Suryanto) from them. There is research on a system for eliminating the knowledge engineer altogether (MCRDR - Kang). These all come from the stable of the university of New South Wales in Sydney (Paul Compton I think is the instigating academic).
I will be happy to fill out your questionnaire.. I can send my last paper (more than 2,000 words), but am buried in work at present. regards Rob Robert.Kildare at utas.edu.au ==============Original message text=============== On Fri, 10 Feb 2006 0:08:40 +1100 "Karl-Heinz Krempels" wrote: Hi Jason, I'll contribute a few things.
