Question 2

What are the domain characteristics that indicate the use of each of the knowledge application technologies?

Accepted Answer

Rule-based systems are applicable when domain knowledge is definable as a set of rules or heuristics. CBR is applicable in either weak-theory domains (either no expert available or expert cannot explain the domain) or when the experience base spans a large portion of the organization. Constraint-based reasoning is applicable when domains are defined by what cannot be done. Model-based reasoning is commonly used in engineering domains and is applicable when knowledge about the internal workings of a system are available and can be used to diagnose problems. Diagrammatic reasoning is applicable when the domain is represented by diagrams or imagery.
