Knowledge Representation in the Large
We describe the design and implementation of a storage subsystem that submerges a database management system (DBMS) within a knowledge representation system.
-
Finding Analogues for Innovative Design
We present a heuristic mapping engine that evaluates a candidate analogy based on features of the mappings between the devices’ structures, behaviors, and functions.

Adapting CLIM Applications for Use on the World Wide Web
We have developed a Web server tool, written in Common Lisp, that allows any existing graphical user interface application written using the Common Lisp Interface Manager (CLIM) to hook easily…

Distinguishing Knowledge Bases and Data Bases: Who’s on First and What’s on Second
This paper compares and contrasts relational data base management systems (RDBMSs) and frame knowledge representation systems (FRSs). We compare the capabilities that RDBMSs and FRSs provide to designers and users…

A Storage System for Scalable Knowledge Representation
Our research investigates the hypothesis that one can employ an existing database management system (DBMS) as a storage subsystem for an FRS, to provide high-speed access to large, shared KBs.
-
Registration without Correspondences
We present a method for registering images of complex 3-D surfaces that does not require explicit correspondences between features across the images.

Experience with a Learning Personal Assistant
Personal software assistants that help users with tasks like finding information, scheduling calendars, or managing workflow will require significant customization.
-
Industrial Project Monitoring with Evidential Reasoning
The system identifies problems and developments that might lead to deviations from planned project outcomes and does so at such an early stage that effective corrective action can still be…

The deductive composition of astronomical software from subroutine libraries
Automated deduction techniques are being used in a system called Amphion to derive, from graphical specifications, programs composed from a subroutine library. The system has been applied to construct software…
-
Learning Control Parameters of a Vision Process Using Contextual Information
This paper presents a method for the system itself to learn how to select among its algorithms and to set their parameters, reducing the need for operator expertise while improving…

Commentary on Kyburg
A central tenet of the view is that the best theory or rational reconstruction of our mental lives will find a central and ineliminable goal for the attitude of full…
