Abstract

This presentation illucidates the impact information technology factors may have on transferability of knowledge based systems. The paper describes how database content, knowledge acquisition and knowledge representation may hamper or enhance viable transfer of knowledge based systems. Furthermore through experiments we demonstrate that the appropriateness of a chosen technology may be dependent on domain factors such as the epidemiological composition of training databases.
