Successes and failures of KBSs in real-world applications: Report on the international conference

摘要

The International Conference on Successes and Failures of Knowledge-Based Systems (KBSs) in Real-World Applications was held at the Asian Institute of Technology (Bangkok, Thailand) on 28–30 October 1996. This report provides a presentation of the papers and the discussions during the conference. The conference focused on some new issues that have rarely been addressed before. Among the main results, it appears that the success of a knowledge-based system depends on dimensions often neglected as the types of knowledge involved in the systems work, the organizational framework and the architecture of the system. This permits us to discover what the new challenges for KBSs are.
