DEPARTMENT OF COMPUTER SCIENCE UNIVERSITY OF WATERLOO SEMINAR ACTIVITIES COMPUTER SCIENCE COLLOQUIUM - Wednesday, January 12, 1983. Prof. John Mylopoulos of the University of Toronto will speak on "Knowledge Bases in Databases". TIME: 3:30 PM ROOM: M&C 5158 ABSTRACT We describe a simple knowledge representation frame- work based on semantic networks which emphasizes or- ganization and show how it deals with the representa- tion of procedures, exceptions, scripts, syntactic patterns and assertions. We also give an account of applications of the framework encountered in Data- bases and Software Engineering. The research presented is based on work carried out within the Taxis project at the University of Toron- to. The goal of the project is to provide tools for the specification of requirements and the design of interactive information systems. Coffee and refreshments will be served at 3:00 PM. January 5, 1983
