Abstract

Knowledge representation and the development of suitable formalisms has always been a majorconcern in the history of Artificial Intelligence (AI). In the last years, the focus on this subject hasincreased even more, since efficient utilization of large quantities of world knowledge is regarded as the key to building intelligent systems. Knowledge-based system has almost become a synonym for AI system. In this paper some results are reported obtained by the construction of the integrated hybrid system BACK, which in some aspect is based on KL-ONE.

This work was partially supported by the EEC and is part of the ESPRIT project 311 which Involves the following participants: Nixdorf, Olivetti, Bull, Technische Universitat Berlin, Universita dl Bologna, Universita di Torino and Universitat Hildesheim.
