This article describes the basic concepts of an extensible customizable knowledge-basedgraphical editor and its adoption to the DOCASE methodology and tool environment. Oneaspect in this field is the mapping of conceptual models (expressed in a specific language)to their graphical representations. This also has impacts to the semantic of the user actionsin a graphical editor tool. The ability to extend and customize the editor can be used tobuild specific graphical interfaces to various kinds of tools in the software developmentprocess. Major aspects of ODE are semantics-directed editing besides normal syntax-directed editing, support of abstraction mechanisms, multiple modeless views to attack com-plexity, semantic analization and animation. The result is an highly customizable graphicaleditor construction set that matches requirements of applications in many domains of systemdesign.
Based on the experiences from an autonomous mobile robot project called MOBOT-III, we found hard realtime-constraints for the operating- system-design. ALBATROSS is "A flexible multi-tasking and realtime network-operating-system-kernel". The focusin this article is on a communication-scheme fulfilling the previous demanded assurances. The centralchapters discuss the shared buffer management and the way to design the communication architecture.Some further aspects beside the strict realtime-requirements like the possibilities to control and watch a running system, are mentioned. ALBATROSS is actually implemented on a multi-processor VMEbus-system.
Im Bereich der Expertensysteme ist das Problemlösen auf der Basis von Fallbeispielen ein derzeit sehr aktuelles Thema. Da sich sehr unterschiedliche Fachgebiete und Disziplinen hiermit auseinandersetzen, existiert allerdings eine entsprechende Vielfalt an Begriffen und Sichten auf fallbasiertes Problemlösen. In diesem Beitrag werden wir einige für das fallbasierte Problemlösen wichtige Begriffe präzisieren bzw. begriffliche Zusammenhänge aufdecken. Die dabei verfolgte Leitlinie ist weniger die, ein vollständiges Begriffsgebäude zu entwickeln, sondern einen ersten Schritt in Richtung eines einfachen Beschreibungsrahmens zu gehen, um damit den Vergleich verschiedener Ansätze und Systeme zu ermöglichen. Auf dieser Basis wird dann der derzeitige Stand der Forschung am Beispiel konkreter Systeme zur fallbasierten Diagnose dargelegt. Den Abschluss bildet eine Darstellung bislang offener Fragen und interessanter Forschungsziele.
Retrieval of cases is one important step within the case-based reasoning paradigm. We propose an improvement of this stage in the process model for finding most similar cases with an average effort of O[log2n], n number of cases. The basic idea of the algorithm is to use the heterogeneity of the search space for a density-based structuring and to employ this precomputed structure, a k-d tree, for efficient case retrieval according to a given similarity measure sim. In addition to illustrating the basic idea, we present the expe- rimental results of a comparison of four different k-d tree generating strategies as well as introduce the notion of virtual bounds as a new one that significantly reduces the retrieval effort from a more pragmatic perspective. The presented approach is fully implemented within the (Patdex) system, a case-based reasoning system for diagnostic applications in engineering domains.
Fallbasiertes Schliessen ist ein derzeit viel diskutierter Problemlösesansatz. Dieser Beitrag gibt einen Überblick über den aktuellen Stand der Forschung auf diesem Gebiet, insbesondere im Hinblick auf die Entwicklung von Expertensystemen (einen ersten Schritt in diese Richtung stellte bereits der Beitrag von Bartsch-Spörl, [BS87] dar). Dazu stellen wir die dem fallbasierten Schliessen zugrundeliegenden Mechanismen vor. Ergänzt wird dies durch den Vergleich mit alternativen Verfahren wie z.B. regelbasiertes, analoges und induktives Schliessen sowie eine ausführliche Literaturübersicht.
Forschungsprojekte im Bereich des fallbasierten Schliessens in den USA, die Verfügbarkeit kommerzieller fallbasierter Shells, sowie erste Forschungsergebnisse initialer deutscher Projekte haben auch in Deutschland verstärkte Aktivitäten auf dem Gebiet des fallbasierten Schliessens ausgelöst. In diesem Artikel sollen daher Projekte, die sich als Schwerpunkt oder als Teilaspekt mit fallbasierten Aspekten beschäftigen, einer breiteren Öffentlichkeit kurz vorgestellt werden.
This report contains a collection of abstracts for talks given at the "Deduktionstreffen" held at Kaiserslautern, October 6 to 8, 1993. The topics of the talks range from theoretical aspects of term rewriting systems and higher order resolution to descriptions of practical proof systems in various applications. They are grouped together according the following classification: Distribution and Combination of Theorem Provers, Termination, Completion, Functional Programs, Inductive Theorem Proving, Automatic Theorem Proving, Proof Presentation. The Deduktionstreffen is the annual meeting of the Fachgruppe Deduktionssysteme in the Gesellschaft für Informatik (GI), the German association for computer science.
SPIN-NFDS Learning and Preset Knowledge for Surface Fusion - A Neural Fuzzy Decision System -
(1993)
The problem to be discussed in this paper may be characterized in short by the question: "Are these two surface fragments belonging together (i.e. belonging to the same surface)?" The presented techniques try to benefit from some predefined knowledge as well as from the possibility to refine and adapt this knowledge according to a (changing) real environment, resulting in a combination of fuzzy-decision systems and neural networks. The results are encouraging (fast convergence speed, high accuracy), and the model might be used for a wide range of applications. The general frame surrounding the work in this paper is the SPIN- project, where emphasis is on sub-symbolic abstractions, based on a 3-d scanned environment.
This paper refers to the problem of adaptability over an infinite period of time, regarding dynamic networks. A never ending flow of examples have to be clustered, based on a distance measure. The developed model is based on the self-organizing feature maps of Kohonen [6], [7] and some adaptations by Fritzke [3]. The problem of dynamic surface classification is embedded in the SPIN project, where sub-symbolic abstractions, based on a 3-d scanned environment is being done.
Case-based problem solving can be significantly improved by applying domain knowledge (in opposition to problem solving knowledge), which can be acquired with reasonable effort, to derive explanations of the correctness of a case. Such explanations, constructed on several levels of abstraction, can be employed as the basis for similarity assessment as well as for adaptation by solution refinement. The general approach for explanation-based similarity can be applied to different real world problem solving tasks such as diagnosis and planning in technical areas. This paper presents the general idea as well as the two specific, completely implemented realizations for a diagnosis and a planning task.
