A workshop is held with experts in order to present the results obtained with the KB, for analysis and give their opinions. The main criterion should be used for the tests, is the opinion of domain experts, as they can tell if the results are satisfactory or not. Potential users can also serve as judges, with criteria regarding the usability, the interface and the

There is a close relationship between evaluation and refinements of the ES as the evaluation may reveal cases handled by the rules of the system and as a result, we add new rules or modify old ones, such changes can have unexpected negative effects on some parts of the

The purpose of this evaluation is to check if the system implements its specifications and there are good logical consistency (i.e. the problem of verifying that the method is correct) for this purpose is the assessment obtained, taking into account actual performance levels. The prototype and system upgrades should be tested for performance in the laboratory and in the field. The initial evaluation is conducted in a simulated environment, the system is exposed to test problems (e.g., case histories or suggested by

It also examines whether the system can be used efficiently and if it is cost-effective. The assessment should consider the quality of the messages presented, i.e., design and programming of the explanatory power of the BC to determine to what extent they meet the

### **6.3.8 Obtaining the final system and evolution**

One advantage of rule-based systems is that they are modular, so can build subdivisions of large systems and then test them step by step, which is made possible with prototypes.

One approach is using the evolutionary prototyping, where a prototype is enhanced until obtaining the final system, which can be built gradually by adding pieces, parts or modular components. This is a cyclical process, which is an advantage that can improve the result and get the best approach to user requirements and needs of knowledge of IMIS.

If each subsection is evaluated and approved separately, the final system will most likely work the first time.

In this sub-step is performed integration of subsystems that is, if KB is created different or heterogeneous in terms of sources, we must take into account the need to create interfaces between them, allowing optimal operation and communication between the system and users.

### **6.3.9 Section summary and work ahead**

This proposal is an attempt in the way to formalize a methodology that allows the intelligence of information systems within the business, adding layers of knowledge. It provides methods that reduce the complexity of knowledge management which are required to enterprises of the Third Millennium. We have relied on experiential learning working primarily with our students for several years and also with external projects. We are aware that more empirical work is required complementary and many theoretical efforts.

The research has resulted in a tool that has allowed us to quantify our goals, to make viable and to face the serious problems of the Colombia Higher Education Sector for which we have innovated the Inter-industry model I/O W. Leontief incorporating the knowledge as a sub-sector of the economy, by the identification of a model architecture.

In Colombia there is an unusual demand for seminars and postgraduate courses in KM but little or no mention of the KE; it is imperative to migrate in this direction, especially when the economy demands more knowledge-based systems that require more rigorous engineering to improve competitiveness. This requires people, processes and methods and not only technology.

The world has become more complex, enterprise application development requires new engineering approaches and architectural approaches. Similarly, more specialized cognitive abilities around the working groups.

It takes audacity KE alternatives, systems architecture and design, taking into account the systemic qualities and cost-benefit to the organization.


#### **6.3.9.1 Synthesis: Knowledge engineering vs. knowledge management**

#### **6.3.9.2 Prospect work**

Our models are implemented at institutional at FESSANJOSE but we want to undertake to the design and implementation national wide as a national purpose to face several higher education problems mentioned above as student desertion and the academic governability in which knowledge based systems are the key support.

In other hand we want to develop a knowledge a more complex architecture to support the knowledge engineering efforts which includes the knowledge model.

#### **6.4 Chapter conclusions**

It is very import to point out that literature related to the propaedeutic cycles in Superior Education is very scarce. Most of our works discussed in this chapter has been considered as a pioneering effort in order to face most of problems in Tertiary Education. In the first section we introduced the higher education sector analysis with theirs several problems currently affects this sector. In following section we present the FESSJ-PROP Model for curricular analysis through the Coherence Matrix. The third section we have presented our initiative iCOACH, leading to develop the education software architecture facing student desertion. Next section as a complementary of the previous Section we presented the integration linear programming an Leontief model for the study of education sector problems like student desertion costs, academic governability, sustainability and the intellectual capital and the knowledge activities. Finally we present the methodology issues we developed to undertake these projects.

As future work we have undertaken the development of intelligent authoring tools for digital 3D interactive contents leading to the promotion of a knowledge industry in this country but mainly to increase the teachers productivity regarding his/her own cognitive style, the student style and the knowledge characteristics.
