A computer software that simulates a human tutor's behavior is called as an Intelligent Tutoring System (ITS). The purpose of ITS is to help users to acquire knowledge and skills in the respective domain. ITS is able to learn as it interprets the responses from students. These student responses are very complex. They are able to identify where the student understanding has deviated from the correct solution and why the student has made a mistake. ITS can offer hints to help the student in understanding the material presented to them. ITS enables the users to practice their skills by solving tasks in a highly interactive learning environment. To provide such capabilities, these systems must be able to represent the knowledge effectively. In ITS, the knowledge is stored in one of its component named as the domain model. Thus, for a designer it is important to select an appropriate technique for knowledge representation to build an effective ITS.
