This book has its source in the question of whether any
knowledge




engineering tools can be applied or analyzed in
cognition research and what insights and methods of
cognitive science might be relevant for knowledge
engineers.
It presents the proceedings of a workshop organized by




the
Special Interest Groups Cognition and Knowledge Engineering
of the
German Society for Informatics, held in February 1992
in









Kaiserslautern.
The book is structured into three parts. The first




part
contrasts work in knowledge engineering with approaches from
the
side of the "soft sciences". The second part deals with
case-based




approaches in expert systems. Cognition research
and the cognitive adequacy of expert systems are discussed
in the third part. Contributions from


Canada, England,
France, Switzerland, and the USA demonstrate how




knowledge
engineering and cognitive science are woven










together
internationally.
