Abstract:
The capture of design knowledge is currently a human-intensive paper-process that
offers little or no automated assistance to the developer. The innovation represented
by this project is a software-development, design-knowledge server. This server functions
as a persistent object base, retaining not only the products of a development effort,
such as the documentation, reports, and code, but also the rationale behind the decisions
within the development process and the domain knowledge that supports the decision.
This provides a continuum of knowledge as reasoning that may be utilized by subsequent
developers, maintenance personnel, and management.
Potential Commercial Application:
Potential Commercial Applications: Applications would derive from the inclusion
of this technology into software developments of government contractors, government
agencies, and commercial groups.
