Current Developments in Knowledge Acquisition-Ekaw '92: 6th European Knowledge Acquisition Workshop, Heidelberg and Kaiserslautern, Germany, May 18-2 (Lecture Notes in Computer Science 599)

Methodological knowledge acquisition and knowledge engineering have achieved increasing attention in recent years due both to active research projects and to successful practical applications. Both aspects have over the years been reflected in the structure of the European Knowledge Acquisition Workshops (EKAW), where a users' forum has always been combined with a scientific workshop. This volume contains the proceedings of EKAW-92. The papers are organized into five thematic sections on: - Technology transfer - General modelling approaches - Knowledge formalization and automated methods - Elicitation and diagnosis of human knowledge - Practice and experiences of knowledge acquisition. A total of 65 persons from around the world served as the program committee. Their recommendations and sometimes very detailed comments helped both workshop organizers and individual authors to achieve the high quality reflected in this volume.
