In-Depth Information
Improved methods of knowledge representation are also needed such that the knowledge
does not die when a software falls out of use or is discontinued. The use of pseudo-code or
alternative knowledge capture may be an useful in this regard.
The knowledge engineering process is expensive and time consuming. The knowledge capture
process needs further streamlining so that non-experts can record and exercise their knowledge.
Better software tools are needed to enable decision-aids to serve the learning / teaching function.
