Session description
Knowledge engineering (KE) deals with the development of intelligent information systems in which knowledge and reasoning play pivotal role. KE is a subfield of artificial intelligence (AI) and includes: knowledge acquisition, knowledge-based systems, knowledge compilation, shells and tools, methodologies, modeling, knowledge management, knowledge discovery, and knowledge representation. This special session is devoted to discussion of current research of the AI techniques and knowledge engineering methodologies for developing intelligent Decision Support Systems.
The goal is to provide a forum for the exchange of ideas between decision makers , computer scientists, and knowledge engineers to address the important issues in these areas.
The topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
