Verification and validation of knowledge-based systems with formal specifications

Pedro Meseguer, Alun D. Preece
1995 Knowledge engineering review (Print)  
This paper examines how formal speci cation techniques can support the veri cation and validation (V&V) of knowledge-based systems.  ...  Formal speci cation techniques provide levels of description which support both veri cation and validation, and V&V techniques feed back to assist the development of the speci cations.  ...  Introduction Unlike most conventional software, knowledge-based systems (KBS) are rarely validated and veri ed against an explicit speci cation of user requirements.  ...

Evaluating Verification and Validation Methods in Knowledge Engineering [chapter]

Alun Preece
2001 Industrial Knowledge Management  
Verification and validation (V&V) techniques have always been an essential part of the knowledge engineering process, because they offer the only way to judge the success (or otherwise) of a knowledge  ...  This remains true in the context of knowledge management: V&V techniques provide ways to measure the quality of knowledge in a knowledge base, and to indicate where work needs to be done to rectify anomalous  ...  The Importance of Validation and Verification Validation and verification (V&V) comprise a set of techniques used in software engineering (and, therefore, in knowledge engineering) to evaluate the quality  ...
