Abstract: This paper presents a general discussion of the role of formal methods in Knowledge Engineering. We give an historical account of the development of the field of Knowledge Engineering towards the use of formal methods. Subsequently, we discuss the pro's and cons of formal methods. We do this by summarising the proclaimed advantages, and by arguing against some of the commonly heard objections against formal methods. We briefly summarise the current state of the art and discuss the most... (Update)

.... such as RML [GMB94] In AI, such rigorous approaches to requirements capture have been taken in for example knowledge based systems [vHF95, MP96, ABvH94] and automated planning [MP97] Within Software Engineering the use of mathematically precise specifications and methods...

.... and formal languages in software engineering and artificial intelligence are provided by van Harmelen and Fensel in a series of papers [45, 46, 47]. 5 3.2 Requirements of Formal Frameworks As argued by Garlan and Notkin [48] software systems are not typically conceived in...
