Abstract

For successful application of knowledge-based systems, “knowledge transfer” (KT) should be receiving more attention. Knowledge transfer is defined as a flow of knowledge from knowledge suppliers through knowledge-based systems to users. Insufficient state-of-the-application of knowledge-based systems in Japan and its near future directions are analysed in terms of KT. Some example tasks for improving KT are reported. These tasks were experienced by the author in the course of 10 years of research and development on knowledge-based systems for project management.
