Experience-Based Knowledge Representation: Soeks

Abstract

When managers make decisions, they use previous, similar, or equal experiences to help themselves in a new decision-making situation. Thus, keeping record of previous decision events appears to be of the utmost importance as part of the decision making process.For us, every formal decision event has to be collected and stored as experienced knowledge, and any technology able to do this will allow us to improve the decision-making process by reducing decision time, as well as by avoiding duplication in the process. However, one of the most complicated issues about knowledge is its representation. Developing a knowledge structure that stores and administers experience from the day-to-day decision processes would improve decision-making quality and efficiency. We are proposing such a knowledge structure and have named it set of experience knowledge structure. A set of experience knowledge structure (SOEKS) is a combination of organized information obtained from a formal decision event. Fully applied, the set of experience knowledge structure would advance the notion of administering knowledge in the current decision-making environment.

Gaining Knowledge Through Experience: Developing Decisional Dna Applications in Robotics

“…Then a decisional chromosome storing decisional ''strategies'' for a category is formed by a group of SOE of the same category. Finally, a diverse group of SOE chromosomes comprise what is called the Decisional DNA (Sanin and Szczerbicki 2009). …”

“…It has been developed to acquire and store formal decision events in an explicit way (Sanin and Szczerbicki 2009). It is a model based upon available and existing knowledge and must adapt to the decision event it is built from (i.e., it is a dynamic structure that depends on the information provided by a formal decision event; Sanin and Szczerbicki 2007); besides, it can be represented in Extensible Markup Language (XML) or Web Ontology Language (OWL) as an ontology in order to make it transportable and shareable (Sanin andSzczerbicki 2006, 2007).…”

“…Decisional DNA, as a domain-independent, flexible, and standard knowledge representation structure (Maldonado Sanin 2007), can potentially solve and improve the problems mentioned in the above paragraph: it not only captures and stores experiential knowledge in an explicit and formal way (Sanin and Szczerbicki 2009) but also can be easily applied to various domains to support decision making and standard knowledge sharing and communication among these systems.…”

Decisional Dna: The Concept and Its Implementation Platforms

“…This is what we call formal decision events (Sanin and Szczerbicki 2009;Sanin et al 2010). All of these formal decision events are usually disregarded and forgotten once the decision is made, which means that the decision-making experience is not stored.…”

Viability of Decisional DNA in Robotics

“…Constraints place limits on variables. Finally, rules are a way of expressing relationships between actions and the conditions under which they should be performed 7 .…”
