A strategy of knowledge representation for uncertain problems: experiments and relations to similar concepts

Vamos (1995) outlined the general schemes of pattern representation of knowledge. Extensive experiments proved the feasibility of the methods, e.g., a twelve-year project in early brain developmental problems, a sociolegal project and a search for patterns in economy. All these are characterized by overwhelming soft-type knowledge. The paper presents an overview of these research efforts, discussing similarities to and differences from the pattern method
