Course Objectives:

 To investigate the key concepts of Knowledge Representation (KR) techniques and different notations.
 To integrate the KR view as a knowledge engineering approach to model organizational knowledge.
 To introduce the study of ontologies as a KR paradigm and applications of ontologies.
 To understand various KR techniques and process, knowledge acquisition and sharing of ontology.

 Analyze and design knowledge-based systems intended for computer implementation.


 Acquire theoretical knowledge about principles for logic-based representation and reasoning.
