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.
