Available topics:
- Theoretical background of Knowledge Based Systems
   - Knowledge Representation in New Generation AI-systems
            Special knowledge representation  languages family,
            based on  frame & production rules from the one side
            and using  demonization  C-procedures  -  from   the
            another.  Special  environment for edit, compiling 
            and debuging KB.
 
 
 - Fuzzy  logics for expert systems
            The inference  module  of expert system uses family
            of fuzzy logics.  They are given  by  the  axiomatic
            system  of  triangular  norms and depends on several
            parameters.  This fact allows to change the logic on
            each  step  of  inference and makes inference rather
            flexible.
 
 
 - Modern communication in AI-systems
            Special models of discourse including user's models
            and models of explanation,  argumentation etc. based
            on ATN-approach.
 
 
 - Models & tools of Inference
            Dialog CAD of inference engine including generation
            of its executable code.
 
 
 - Fuzzy inference simulation module
            New methods are develloped  for  inference  modules
            designing for expert systems with high possibilities
            of fuzzy logic inference and  knowledge  aquisition,
            using  probabilistic simulation.  We must choose the
            best logic between severel  thousands  fuzzy  logics
            for  the  given  knowledge  base  and  for the given
            length of inference.  For this purpose  we  use  the
            probabilistic simulation of fuzzy knowledge base and
            of inference trees.  Using the results of simulation
            we can compare the result of inference for different
            logics and choose the best logic for the real expert
            system.
 
 
 
- Technology of Knowledge Based Systems  Design & Implementation
   - Knowledge Based Models of Life Cycle for AI-systems
            Development of technological  knowledge  bases  for
            supporting, planing and managing AI-CAD based on cognitive 
            graphics approach.
 
 
 - Fuzzy logics aquisition module
            Expert system uses fuzzy  logics,  which  simulates
            the  reasoning  process  of expert.  So it should be
            supplied by special methods of fuzzy  knowledge  and
            fuzzy  logics aquisition.  Special cognitive graphic
            interface is used to show to the  expert  the  truth
            tables   of   fuzzy   (multi-valued)   logics,   the
            distibution of truth values in knowledge  base  etc.
            Expert  can use special graphic editor to change the
            logic and to see the possible results  of  inference
            before  using  the logic in the expert system.  This
            module is still unknown in expert system  shells and
            it is called "fuzzy logics aquisition module".
 
 
 - Cognitive Graphics in Knowledge Based Systems  Design &
         Implementation
            Special knowledge bases supporting processes of create
            and  edit  graphical  patterns  describing  main
            components of AI-systems based on Chernoff's faces.

            posibilities for list processing and may be expanded
            by external C-functions.  REFAL used as metalanguage

            implementation, in symbolic processing etc.
 
 
 - Design & Implementation of PILOT/2 - Knowledge Representation 
              Tool for second generation expert systems
            PILOT/2 is the language based on  production  rules
            and  frames.  The  OPS5 and ART are It's prototypes.
            PILOT-compiler  generates  C-program   for   Windows
            environment.
 
 
 - Design & Implementation of ATNL -  communication  models
         description language
            ATNL is  based  on  Woods'   Augmented   Transition
            Network model. ATNL-compiler is implemented on REFAL
            and generates REFAL -program as  a  target  program.
            This   language   is   used   for  natural  language
            communication, explanation, argumentation etc.

- Applied Knowledge-Based Systems
   - Applied fuzzy expert systems in medicine and psychology
            The prototype of ES in neurology  (1500  rules)  is
            made   in   Russian   Centre  of  reabilitation  for
            neurologic deceases.  We are working  together  with
            Phycology  faculty  of  Moscow  State  University to
            create psychological diagnostic  system,  using  the
            fuzzy   knowledge   acquisition  methods.  For  this
            purpose we use fuzzy expert system shell.

            Applied ES "Cattell" produces an individual textual
            person's portrete based on test of Cattell.
 Applied ES "Ayzenk" produces an individual textual
            person's portrete based on modification of Ayzenk test.
 Applied ES "Lusher" produces an individual textual
            person's portrete based on color test of Lusher.

            will  be  included  in KAPS Tool Kit that based upon
            our  original  approach  to  knowledge   acquisition
            process.
