Knowledge-Based SystemsA knowledge-based system is a computer program that reasons and uses knowledge to solve complex problems. Traditionally, computers have solved complex problems using arithmetic algorithms created by programmers. With knowledge-based systems, human knowledge is captured and embedded explicitly within a program in a symbolic format.
Expressing knowledge as rules and heuristics has two particular advantages over previous software development technology. Not only can explicit knowledge be trapped in the computer, but so can implicit knowledge, which is useful and potentially very profitable. The other advantage is that knowledge that exists in the form of rules can be captured in that form, without having to be converted by teams of analysts and programmers into data definitions and procedures.
Types of SystemsOne way that knowledge-based systems can be classified is by the kind of conclusions they produce. Some interpret the available evidence and produce diagnoses-for example, to explain the reason for a machine breakdown. Others interpret the available evidence but offer a prediction, such as the likelihood of a particular applicant for a loan becoming a slow-payer or a defaulter. Some systems address design questions, proposing the form or layout of a product or the configuration of components. Some are related to industrial engineering matters such as the procedure for assembling the components.However, not all knowledge-based systems are so ambitious. Many merely use the captured rules to determine to which class a particular example belongs. For example, a system might determine whether a particular person is, or is not, entitled to a particular government benefit, an entry visa, or permanent residence.
According to the book Management Information Systems by Ken Laudon and Jane Laudon, it is an example of Knowledge Work Systems.
An advantage of a knowledge work system is the ability to leverage that knowledge against your competitors. A disadvantage is the fact that the knowledge workers can leave your organization at any time.

Not to my knowledge, well i hope not, i work with it everyday :/
Science is a system of knowledge and the methods used to find that knowledge.

OAS(office automation system)is based on worker who share information and not creating new knowledge. (word processing,emel,spreadsheet) KWS(knowledge work system)is a system that aid professional worker such as scientist,engineer to develop new knowledge in and organization (computer-aided design system,virtual system)
A knowledge work system (KWS) requires a robust technological infrastructure that includes advanced software tools for data analysis, collaboration, and content management. It should support knowledge creation, sharing, and storage among users, often facilitated by databases and knowledge repositories. Additionally, effective KWS emphasizes user-friendly interfaces and integration capabilities to enhance productivity and communication among knowledge workers. Finally, ongoing training and support are essential to ensure that users can leverage the system effectively.
An example of an office automation system is the time card system. One employees clock in, the system automatically calculates their pay based on the number of hours they work.
Knowledge work systems and office automation systems serve the information needs at the knowledge level of the organization. , where as office automation systems primary aid data workers (although they are also used extensively by knowledge workers)
An example of a culture system is a company that promotes a collaborative work environment, encourages open communication, values diversity, and prioritizes work-life balance for its employees. This culture system fosters creativity, innovation, and employee engagement, leading to a positive and productive work environment.
