Application Software Prototype Implementation System

Obiettivo

The objective of this project was to construct tools, called "Assistants", to support the partial automation of the first phases of the life-cycle, by the exploitation of state-of-the-art techniques in the fields of specification languages and artificial intelligence.
The main problems tackled by ASPIS were:
-capturing the domain knowledge to be used by the Assistants
-choosing an appropriate representation formalism for coding knowledge
-defining the basic architecture of Assistants
-defining an appropriate language for interaction between Assistants and users.
The final objective of the project was the creation of a set of advanced methods and tools allowing a flexible approach to applications software production based on an interactive style, including:
-rapid prototyping by interpretation of the components specifications
-reusability of components through knowledge-based Assistants.
The final result was a fully integrated prototype environment system able to provide assistance in the early phases of the systems development life cycle. The environment consists of several expert systems (termed assistants) based on a common knowledge representation formalism, KRS. Analysis, design and reuse assistants were developed. These expert systems have access to 2 common knowledge bases containing methodological knowledge (independent from the application domain) and domain knowledge. A rapid prototyping facility is included in the analysis assistant. The environment was fully demonstrated in the final review through the simulation of the development of a realistic access control system with hardware and software components for an industrial site. Two versions of the reuse assistant were demonstrated: one applied to the analysis and therefore interfacing the analysis assistant and another one for the design assistant. A mechanism of interfacing the analysis and the design assistant, enabling an incremental development, is also included in the environment.

The ASPIS environment was fully demonstrated in the final review through the simulation of the development of a realistic access control system with hardware and software components for an industrial site. This case-study was brought to the project by oneof the partners, a company with great experience in developing such systems for customers. Two versions of the Reuse Assistant were demonstrated: one applied to the analysis and therefore interfacing the Analysis Assistant and another one for the DesignAssistant. A mechanism of interfacing the Analysis and the Design Assistant, enabling thus an incremental development, is also included in the environment.
Exploitation
The implementation of Assistants for the early phases of the systems development life-cycle and their application in commercial developments will help reduce the misinterpretation of user requirements by the different development teams involved in these phases. The problems arising from these misinterpretations constitute one of the major sources of errors in the systems development process.
The development of ASPIS tools as part of a CASE environment is being exploited by the consortium.
