Most of the focus of this guide is given to knowledge-based systems and their use, as well as to knowledge engineering as a means of working with knowledge that should form the basis of intelligent systems. This guide can be used as part of the studied courses as well as when conducting research work. This study guide is intended for students studying the courses “Knowledge engineering and knowledge management” and “Software development technologies”, which is included in the curricula for the educational program 09.04.01_17 “Intelligent systems”.
