Synopsis

The process of developing big information systems is less effective and more resource consuming than software developers expect. The most widely disseminated software engineering methods and tools applied through the life cycle of this process are characterised with a low level of process automation, insufficient component reusability and dissatisfactory final product flexibility. The efficiency of the software development process can be improved with the application of hi-tech IT instruments as: (1) non-formal business model specifications, (2) automated verification and modification of the non-formal specifications related to predefined standardised knowledge bases both for the domain and IT areas, (3) automated generation of the final software product from the verified business model, and (4) incorporation of components set for real time monitoring and tuning within the generated software. This book presents the authors views on Knowledge Based Automated Software Engineering (KBASE). It involves the domain scope, the implemented research methods, tools and applications. The KBASE products presented in the book are addressed to the needs of scientists, practitioners and students working in the areas of software engineering, computer science, knowledge representation, artificial intelligence, manufacturing engineering, and education.

About this title

Review

I highly recommend the new book titled Knowledge Based Automated Software Engineering which is published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing, Cambridge, UK . . . The active researchers in the KBASE field Ivan Stanev and Professor Katalina Grigorova from University of Ruse, Bulgaria had selected for this book nine papers describing new implemented research methods, tools and applications written by leading researchers into this area from four universities in Bulgaria and Turkey. The KBASE products presented in the book are addressed to the needs of scientists, practitioners and students working in the areas of Software Engineering, Computer Science, Knowledge Representation, Artificial Intelligence, Manufacturing Engineering, and Education. --Assoc. Prof. Juliana Peneva, PhD, New Bulgarian University
