Abstract

The authors report on ESPRIT Project 401, building the Application Software Prototype Implementation System (ASPIS) for computer-aided software engineering (CASE). ASPIS uses artificial intelligence techniques in a software-development environment. The goal is to encourage a more flexible and effective software-development life cycle, smoothing the transition between user needs, analysis, and design. The focus is on a knowledge-based assistant called the analysis assistant, the primary goal of which is to provide the user with domain-dependent suggestions and advice during a particular method phase.<>
