Conducting Feasibility Studies for Knowledge Based Systems |
Proceedings of Research and Development in Expert Systems XX, proceedings of BCS SGAI AI'03 conference, Peterhouse College, Cambridge, 15-17 December 2003. Also in the Knowledge Based Systems Journal, 17, Elsevier Science, 2004. |
This paper describes how to carry out a feasibility study for a potential knowledge based system application under three headings: the business case, the technical feasibility, and stakeholder issues. It concludes with a case study of a feasibility study for a KBS to guide surgeons in diagnosis and treatment of thyroid conditions. |

Multi-Perspective Modeling: A Framework for Knowledge Representation and Knowledge Management |
Proceedings of AI-METH 2005, Gliwice, Poland, Nov 2005 |
The paper discusses in detail an approach to multi-perspective modeling based on the Zachman framework; applies this approach to key knowledge management approaches and modeling methods; and validates the approach by showing how meta-analysis of the framework can be used to derive well-known software development techniques. |
