Dear Anindya Mukherji, Knowledge based software or a knowledge based system (KBS) is essentially an 'expert system' The conventional view of a program is: PROGRAM = ALGORITHM + DATA This view does not recognize that the algorithm has two components: knowledge and control. Alternatively, in the KBS paradigm (sorry Dilbert): PROGRAM = KNOWLEDGE + CONTROL + DATA In a KBS, the knowledge is made explicit, rather than being implicitly mixed in with the algorithm. So in a KNOWLEDGE-BASED SOFTWARE SYSTEM FOR GEOLOGICAL STRUCTURE ANALYSIS package geological expertise is built into the software allowing it to interpret the data from a structural geological viewpoint. You will have to look at the specifications of the individual software packages themselves to see what they can DO:-) yours Rob Mc Anindya Mukherji wrote: > > I want to know what "KNOWLEDGE-BASED SOFTWARE SYSTEM FOR GEOLOGICAL > STRUCTURE ANALYSIS" mean.
