Abstract
A frame-based representation facility contributes to a knowledge system's ability to reason and can assist the system designer in determining strategies for controlling the system's reasoning.

A unified 2d representation of fuzzy reasoning, CBR, and experience based reasoning
KES'06: Proceedings of the 10th international conference on Knowledge-Based Intelligent Information and Engineering Systems - Volume Part IFuzzy reasoning, case-based reasoning (CBR) and experience-based reasoning (EBR) or natural reasoning have been seriously studied for years. However, these studies essentially can be considered as a 1-dimensional approach, because their reasoning ...
Temporal knowledge representation and organization for case-based reasoning
TIME '96: Proceedings of the 3rd Workshop on Temporal Representation and Reasoning (TIME'96)The article presents the temporal knowledge representation and its organization in a case-based reasoning system called MNAOMIA. The general case-based reasoning methodology is grounded on a model of reasoning such that memory, learning and reasoning ...
From knowledge represented in frame-based languages to declarative representation and reasoning via ASP
KR'12: Proceedings of the Thirteenth International Conference on Principles of Knowledge Representation and ReasoningIn this paper we encode some of the reasoning methods used in frame based knowledge representation languages in answer set programming (ASP). In particular, we show how "cloning" and "unification" in frame based systems can be encoded in ASP. We then ...

This paper is an excellent introduction to frame-based representations. No previous background in artificial intelligence is needed to comprehend the paper. It is tutorial in nature, describing the advantages of a frame-based representation over other alternatives for representing information in a knowledge-based system (expert system). The authors use KEE from IntelliCorp to illustrate how a framed-based system operates. The only thing missing from the paper is an attempt to point out the weaknesses of frame-based representations. The paper explains how frames and their associated slots may be used to represent concepts, classes of objects, or individual instances of objects. The authors point out that one of the advantages of frames is that some inferencing mechanisms are built in, such as exploiting the inheritance hierarchy of frames. Another advantage is that arbitrary procedures may be attached to slots. One of the uses for these procedures is that they may act as demons to simulate sensors or monitors. Examples are given to show how KEE may be used with production rules to give the knowledge engineer the best of both worlds to build his knowledge-based system. The paper concludes with an example of a real world application which utilizes the integration of the frame-based and production-rule-based representations.
