Using unified modeling language for conceptual modelling of knowledge-based systems by Abdullah, Mohd Syazwan, Benest, Ian, Paige, Richard, Kimble, Chris

“…This paper discusses extending the Unified Modelling Language by means of a profile for modelling knowledge-based system in the context of Model Driven Architecture (MDA) framework. …”

Developing a UML profile for modelling knowledge-based systems by Abdullah, Mohd Syazwan, Kimble, Chris, Paige, Richard, Benest, Ian, Evans, Andy

“…However, these modelling techniques tend to be used in an ad hoc way and are highly dependent on the modelling experience of the engineers involved.This paper focuses on the use of profiles for knowledge modelling that are available in the Unified Modeling Language (UML).It identifies the shortcomings of current approaches to adopting UML and discusses the need for an extension to UML using the profile mechanism.A profile based on the eXecutable Modelling Framework (XMF) is also presented as work-in-progress.…”

Knowledge modelling using the UML profile by Abdullah, Mohd Syazwan, Paige, Richard, Benest, Ian, Kimble, Chris

“…An extension to the Unified Modeling Language (UML) for knowledge modeling is presented based on the profiling extension mechanism of UML.The UML profile discussed in this paper has been successfully captured in a Meta-Object-Facility (MOF) based UML tool — the executable Modeling Framework (XMF).The example is that of modeling a knowledge-based system for the Ulcer Clinical Practical Guidelines (CPG) Recommendations.It demonstrates the use of the profile, with the prototype system implemented in the Java Expert System Shell (JESS).…”

Modelling knowledge-based systems using UML profiles by Abdullah, Mohd Syazwan, Benest, Ian, Evans, Andy, Kimble, Chris

“…Knowledge-based systems (KBS) play an important role in managing an organisation's knowledge initiated through knowledge management processes.These systems are designed, and developed using knowledge engineering techniques that are similar to software engineering, but have more emphasis on the rdles of knowledge in the reasoning process.However, there are no modelling techniques available in this field and most of the techniques that are used are usually adapted from the software engineering domain. The Unified Modeling Language (UML) is a general-purpose language that can he extended to model requirements from domains that are not currently defined by it.One such extension mechanism is the UML Profile which extends the language at the meta-level without changing the main construct of the language.This paper presents an initial profile that can be used to design a KBS.…”

A UML profile for knowledge-based systems modelling by Abdullah, Mohd Syazwan, Paige, Richard, Kimble, Chris, Benest, Ian

“…However, this has been replaced by the modelling approach which emphasises using conceptual models to model the problem-solving skill of the domain expert.This paper discusses extending the Unified Modelling Language by means of a profile for modelling knowledge-based system in the context of Model Driven Architecture (MDA) framework.The profile is implemented using the eXecutable Modelling Framework (XMF) Mosaic tool.A case study from the health care domain demonstrates the practical use of this profile; with the prototype implemented in Java Expert System Shell (Jess). …”
