An instrument for a purpose driven comparison of modelling frameworks

Abstract

Abstract.During the past decade a number of modelling frameworks for knowledge based systems have been developed. In this paper an approach to the comparison of modelling frameworks is proposed, based on the aims and purposes behind the frameworks. A purpose oriented comparison of the frameworks DESIRE, CommonKADS, PROTÉGÉ-II, MIKE, VITAL and KARL provides insight in their differences and similarities.

A Compositional Knowledge Level Process Model of Requirements Engineering

“…Various knowledge modelling methods and tools have been developed, for an overview see (Brazier and Wijngaards, 1997), and applied to complex tasks and domains. The application of a knowledge modelling method to the domain of Requirements Engineering in this paper has resulted in a compositional process model of the task of Requirements Engineering, based on the compositional knowledge modelling method DESIRE (Design and Specification of Interacting Reasoning components); cf.…”

A Formal Knowledge Level Process Model of Requirements Engineering

“…Various knowledge modelling methods and tools have been developed [3] and applied to complex tasks and domains. The application of a knowledge modelling method to the domain of Requirements Engineering in this paper has resulted in a compositional process model of the task of Requirements Engineering.…”
