EXPERIMENTING STATECHARTS FOR MULTIPLE EXPERTS KNOWLEDGE ELICITATION IN AGRICULTURE

Abstract We experimented Statecharts as a mediation tool between multiple experts and a knowledge engineer. After a short survey of knowledge elicitation for multiple experts, we present our method and critiques coming from our case study in crop protection for vineyards.
