Hello !!!
I've received few answers about "Software Eng. VS. Knowledge Eng.", and
I'm agree with you. The problem I'd submitted to AILIST was because
a few months ago was presented in Spain a Conference with this title,
and my opinion was (and still follows being ) against this viewpoint.
Spain is an absolute beginner country in AI and K.E. subjects and,
how I suposse ocurred in other countries,some people tried to demonstrate
that AI techniques and K.E. techniques are "pure invention" and they
preferred attack AI than auto-critize their own methods.
My personal opinion: I'm agree with K.E. methodologies, and I'd like
give "good performance" reasons to its detractors, to demonstrate
them that Knowledge Engineering is not a "pure invention"...it's real
and very useful !!!!
And also I think that K.E. and Soft. Eng. can survive in a perfect
symbiosis.Cause of this,"VERSUS" isn't an appropiate word to relate them.
There are some conectives more suitables: WITH, AND, etc...
Do you think the same?
