โฆ Synopsis
Situated cognition is not a mere philosophical concern: it has pragmatic implications for current practice in knowledge acquisition. Tools must move from being design-focused to being maintenance-focused. Reuse-based approaches (e.g. using problem-solving methods) will fail unless the reused descriptions can be extensively modified to suit the new situation. Knowledge engineers must model not only descriptions of expert knowledge, but also the environment in which a knowledge base will perform. Descriptions of knowledge must be constantly re-evaluated. This re-evaluation process has implications for assessing representations 1998 Academic Press

Nearly everyone in the field has heard the clichC that knowledge acquisition is the bottleneck in the development of knowledge-based systems. Developers frequently cite the so-called "knowledge-acquisition problem" as a reason to abandon knowledge-based systems in favor of other approaches, such as
Expert systems by de"nition address a particular domain; arguably this focus on particular domains is a lesson from the 1960s where the early enthusiasm for creating arti,cial intelligence (e.g. natural language understanding) was hampered by the realization that the context of understanding is extr
