Knowledge Representation for Model Management Systems

Towards a model and algorithm management system for vehicle routing and scheduling problems

“…The main function of the frame system is to provide a retrieval capability for matching frames with reality or some part thereof. Frames were conceived originally for visual applications [28], but have been used for scheduling [19] and as a major component of the 'model abstraction' concept [13].…”

Evaluation of flexible automation investments: a model management perspective

“…Model management systems offer a potential framework to help solve the modeling and implementation problem (Bonczek et al, 1980;Sprague and Carlson, 1982;Dolk and Konsynski, 1984;Liang, 1985Liang, , 1988Balci, 1986;Blanning, 1986Blanning, , 1989Blanning, , 1991Dolk, 1986aDolk, , 1986bKonsynski and Sprague, 1986;Holsapple and Whinston, 1988;Jarke and Radermacher, 1988;Shaw et al, 1988;d'Alessandro et al, 1989;Muhanna, 1990;Hong and Vogel, 1991;and Pakath and Rao, 1991).…”

KBLS: A prototype knowledge-based system for the selection of lot-sizing models

“…The modifying expert systems attempt to modify the selected model by adding or deleting constraints depending on the nature of the problem considered. The latter two categories of tandem expert systems have been discussed under model management in the literature dealing with decision support systems (DSS) by several researchers including Dolk and Konsynski (1984), Elam and Konsynski (1987), Sprague and Carlson (1982) and Stohr and Tanniru (1980). KBLS belongs to the second category of tandem expert systems.…”
