“…We introduced the idea of using UML (in conjunction with its associated constraint language OCL) as a description language for AI analysis patterns in Pickin and Manjarrés (2000), where we proposed a 'decision pattern' in analogy to the decision expertise model we discussed in Manjarrés et al (1999Manjarrés et al ( , 2000. It should be noted at this point that while design patterns have become almost ubiquitous in the OO literature in the last decade, the very definition of analysis patterns remains tentative and is still an emerging research topic, as is the use of UML for describing such patterns.…”

“…Our main reason for choosing this particular model is that it can be viewed as the basis of the intelligent agent model and is therefore of some importance in modern AI, constituting a good starting point for an AI analysis pattern library. In Pickin and Manjarrés (2000) we presented the corresponding analysis pattern. In the present paper we compare and contrast these two models with a view to identifying the correspondences between the two approaches.…”

We report on work concerning the use of object-oriented analysis and design (OAD) methods in the development of artificial intelligence (AI) software applications, in which we compare such techniques to software development methods more commonly used in AI, in particular CommonKADS. As a contribution to clarifying the role of OAD methods in AI, in this paper we compare the analysis models of the object-oriented methods and the CommonKADS high-level expertise model. In particular, we study the correspondences between generic tasks, methods and ontologies in methodologies such as CommonKADS and analysis patterns in object-oriented analysis. Our aim in carrying out this study is to explore to what extent, in areas of AI where the object-oriented paradigm may be the most adequate way of conceiving applications, an analysis level 'pattern language' could play the role of the libraries of generic knowledge models in the more commonly used AI software development methods. As a case study we use the decision task -its importance arising from its status as the basic task of the intelligent agent -and the associated heuristic multi-attribute decision method, for which we derive a corresponding 142

Design patterns provide reusable solutions for recurring design problems. They constitute an important tool for improving software quality. However, correct usage of design patterns depends to a large extent on the designer. Design patterns often include models that describe the suggested solutions, while other aspects of the patterns are neglected or described informally only in text. Furthermore, design pattern solutions are usually described in an object-oriented fashion that is too close to the implementation, masking the essence of and motivation behind a particular design pattern. We suggest an approach to modeling the different aspects of design patterns and semi-automatically utilizing these models to improve software design. Evaluating our approach on commonly used design patterns and a case study of an automatic application for composing, taking, checking, and grading analysis and design exams, we found that the suggested approach successfully locates the main design problems modeled by the selected design patterns.
