Abstract

From the Publisher:This book deals with the Knowledge Acquisition and Representation Language, KARL, which is a formal and operational specification language for knowledge-based systems or second-generation expert systems. KARL provides language primitives to represent knowledge according to the layers of a KADS-oriented model of expertise. The main features of KARL are: it provides epistemologically adequate modelling primitives which allow knowledge specifications at the knowledge level. Therefore, KARL allows a smooth transition from informal to formal specifications. KARL is a formal knowledge specification language. That is, it has a declarative semantics. KARL is an operational knowledge specification language which allows prototyping, i.e. knowledge evaluation by testing. Knowledge Acquisition and Representation Language, KARL, gives the reader a complete description of this important new language. The book will be essential reading for researchers in Artificial Intelligence and can also be used as an advanced text book.
