ABSTRACT

Workers in the field of artificial intelligence (AI) have over the years explored many dif-ferent avenues in the quest to develop computational intelligence. Despite the many debates over whether one should build or ‘evolve’ intelligent behaviour, or whether we should replicate or merely simulate human cognitive processes, there has been much common ground among scientists. All probably agree for example, that for the behaviour we call ‘intelligence’ to be recreated in human-built artefacts, we need to develop methods that somehow capture knowledge about the world, and then manipulate that knowledge.
