Involvement in Alvey DHSS Large Demonstrator Project
July 1985 - November 1987
November 1987 - November 1988
On graduating from Lancaster University, I was invited by my
logic tutor, Peter Mott - now with the Department of Philosophy
at Leeds University - to join him as his research associate on
the Alvey DHSS Large Demonstrator Project. While working on
this project we laid the foundations of Elicitation by
Exception, the core of The KnAcq
methodology, and I built the first implementation of the
knowledge interpreter for exception structures. This work was
published as 'A Graphical Inference Mechanism'. In
November of 1987 I undertook a one year research fellowship
with the University of Lancaster. During this year I chaired
the Graphical Explanation sessions of the Alvey Workshop on
Explanation.
