An answer to commentators on the paper “Generic tasks as building blocks for knowledge-based systems: the diagnosis and routine design examples”

More Information
  • I thank the commentators for their time, and generally positive remarks on the promise of the task-specific approach, in particular the generic task (GT) proposal.Johnson and Zualkernan would like a methodology for mapping domain knowledge onto one or more generic tasks so as to solve problems efficiently. This stage of problem and domain analysis in which the kind of reasoning that goes on needs to be analysed in a vocabulary of generic tasks is very important, and in our laboratory we identify this as the epistemic analysis stage. For specific classes of problems we have developed guidelines on how to perform this mapping. For example, Bylander and Smith (Bylander and Smith, 1985) describe a set of criteria and guidelines for mapping medical knowledge into CSRL-like structures for diagnostic reasoning. Similarly Brown (1984) describes criteria for mapping design knowledge into DSPL-like structures.

Abstract: I thank the commentators for their time, and generally positive remarks on the promise of the task-specific approach, in particular the generic task (GT) proposal.Johnson and Zualkernan would like a methodology for mapping domain knowledge onto one or more generic tasks so as to solve problems efficiently. This stage of problem and domain analysis in which the kind of reasoning that goes on needs to be analysed in a vocabulary of generic tasks is very important, and in our laboratory we identify this as the epistemic analysis stage. For specific classes of problems we have developed guidelines on how to perform this mapping. For example, Bylander and Smith (Bylander and Smith, 1985) describe a set of criteria and guidelines for mapping medical knowledge into CSRL-like structures for diagnostic reasoning. Similarly Brown (1984) describes criteria for mapping design knowledge into DSPL-like structures.
