Abstract
Nowadays one of the most important and challenging problems in Knowledge Discovery Process in Databases (KDD) or Data Mining is the definition of the prior knowledge; this can be originated either from the process or the domain. This contextual information may help select the appropriate information, features or techniques, decrease the space of hypothesis, represent the output in a more comprehensible way and improve the whole process.

Emerging Applications in Immersive Technologies
Knowledge engineering is a field within artificial intelligence that develops knowledge-based systems. Such systems are computer programs that contain large amounts of knowledge, rules and reasoning mechanisms to provide solutions to real-world problems. A major form of knowledge-based system is an expert system, one designed to emulate the reasoning processes of an expert practitioner (i.e. one having performed in a professional role for very many years).
