Second, I was one of the few academic AI AAAI can encourage practitioners to Corporate functions. Applications researchers who attended some sessions make their data available to researchers. In addition to helping researchers in used in successful applications. AI research is relevant to the prob-in this regard. University of California Second, my research has recently at Irvine focused on learning methods that If you have a track record of successfully revise the knowledge base of an expert developing and deploying system when the expert system conflicts knowledge based systems to solve with an expert's decision on a real-world problems, and you wish set of examples.

Building new knowledge-based systems today usually entails constructing new knowledge bases from scratch. System developers would then only need to worry about creating the specialized knowledge and reasoners new to the specific task of their system. This approach would facilitate building bigger and better systems cheaply. This article presents a vision of the future in which knowledge-based system development and operation is facilitated by infrastructure and technology for knowledge sharing.

Building new knowledge-based systems today usually entails constructing new knowledge bases from scratch. It could instead be done by assembling reusable components. System developers would then only need to worry about creating the specialized knowledge and reasoners new to the specific task of their system. This new system would interoperate with existing systems, using them to perform some of its reasoning. In this way, declarative knowledge, problem- solving techniques, and reasoning services could all be shared among systems. This approach would facilitate building bigger and better systems cheaply. The infrastructure to support such sharing and reuse would lead to greater ubiquity of these systems, potentially transforming the knowledge industry. This article presents a vision of the future in which knowledge-based system development and operation is facilitated by infrastructure and technology for knowledge sharing. It describes an initiative currently under way to develop these ideas and suggests steps that must be taken in the future to try to realize this vision.
