Description & Coverage
Description:

Software exists in a wide array of products, ranging from toys, entertainment systems, medical systems, and home appliances to large-scale products such as aircraft and communication systems.

Knowledge Engineering for Software Development Life Cycles: Support Technologies and Applications bridges the best practices and design principles successfully employed over last two decades with modern Knowledge Engineering (KE), which has provided some of the most valuable techniques and tools to support encoding knowledge and experiences. Through its identification and exploration of software development practices, captured as software guidelines that can be represented to automated software development, decision making, and knowledge management, this book brings industry and academia together to address the need for the growing applications and supporting knowledge-based approaches to software development.

Coverage:

The many academic areas covered in this publication include, but are not limited to:

  • Automated code generation techniques from requirements and design
  • Automated support for reusability, extensibility, and refactoring
  • Best practice software guidelines
  • Intelligent software intensive applications
  • KE for Web services and SOA
  • KE support for requirements, architecture, components
  • KE support for software process improvement
  • KE support for software testing, quality and metrics
  • Knowledge engineering support for software reuse
  • Knowledge Management (KM) for software product line
  • Requirements engineering and knowledge management
Reviews & Statements

This book also aims to identify how software development best practices captured as software guidelines can be represented to automated software development, decision making, and knowledge management. Therefore, a book of this nature can bring industry and academia together to address the need for the growing applications and supporting knowledge based approaches to software development.
