Truth Value Flow Inference in Hybrid KBS Constructed by KWS

The Knowware System (KWS) has been proposed as an intelligent tool to support the development of knowledge-based system (KBS). It offers a set of intelligent components as basic processing units for the user to model and develop a customized hybrid intelligent system more easily and conveniently without the necessity of being familiar with AI techniques. The framework of hierarchical knowledge representation and inference has been defined for the knowledge based processing in KBS constructed by KWS. As a continued work, this article discusses the confidence transfer among different types of intelligent components by further extending the truth value flow inference.
