Knowledge-based systems were brought to the attention of hydrologists almost a decade ago. The application of knowledge-based systems technology is natural and appropriate for the field of hydrology because it contains numerous procedures developed from theory, actual practice, and experience. The emphasis of the present paper is on demystifying knowledge-based systems of artificial intelligence. After a detailed review of the most important applications to the field of hydrology, the original concept for applying knowledge-based technology is presented. The discussion ends with the list of possible benefits from the application of knowledge-based technology. An expert system for the selection of a suitable method for flow measurement in open channels is used as a case study to illustrate the discussion in the paper. The system has been designed for potential use in Environment Canada. Key words: expert system, water resources, hydrology, flow measurements.

In the automotive industry the activities of documenting the design options and generating the necessary request for quotations, for Tier 1 system suppliers to be awarded contracts for design and development, is complex and time-consuming since these activities are predominately manual and paper-based. Thus, a knowledge-based tool is being developed to aid the selection of the design options for vehicle systems during competitive tendering. The tool is based on ontologies in order to provide a common and shared definition for the options available for a given vehicle system. An overview of this approach is provided and, as a ‘proof of concept’, a case study involving seating systems is presented. This paper shows, through the seating system case study, how the functionalities and features of a vehicle system can be selected and documented in order to streamline the business process of contracting out product development through the supply chain.

AbstractThis paper examines the claim that machine induction can alleviate the current knowledge engineering bottleneck in expert system construction. It presents a case study of the rule induction software tool known as Expert-Ease and proposes a set of criteria which might guide the selection of appropriate domains.
