Various uses of problem solving models for knowledge acquisition

Various roles that high-level or abstract models of expertise could play in improving the process of knowledge acquisition are reviewed. A detailed analysis of the knowledge acquisition process is presented. This analysis allows the different aspects of the process where using problem-solving models might be potentially beneficial to be identified. A synthetic view of these potential roles is given. An attempt to make these roles operational with a knowledge engineering workbench, limitations of the approach, and related work are discussed.<>
