This book has its source in the question of whether any
knowledge engineering tools can be applied or analyzed in
cognition research and what insights and methods of
cognitive science might be relevant for knowledge engineers.
It presents the proceedings of a workshop organized by the
Special Interest Groups Cognition and Knowledge Engineering
of the German Society for Informatics, held in February 1992
in Kaiserslautern.
The book is structured into three parts. The first part
contrasts work in knowledge engineering with approaches from
the side of the "soft sciences". The second part deals with
case-based approaches in expert systems. Cognition research
and the cognitive adequacy of expert systems are discussed
in the third part. Contributions from Canada, England,
France, Switzerland, and the USA demonstrate how knowledge
engineering and cognitive science are woven together
internationally.
