“…There can be found examples of successful use of the MDE approach in the development of database applications (e.g., ECO, for Enterprise Core Objects), agent-oriented monitoring applications (Gascueña et al, 2012;, decision support systems (Baumeister and Striffler, 2015;Shue et al, 2009;Neto et al, 2017), embedded systems (software components) for the Internet (Canadas et al, 2009;Cabello et al, 2009;Distante et al, 2007), including rule-based ESs (Nofal and Fouad, 2014;Shue et al, 2009;Nofal and Fouad, 2015;Ruiz-Mezcua et al, 2011;Canadas et al, 2009).

“…We also define the rules of model transformation in accordance with the principles of the MDA/MDE in the context of designing KBs and ESs. The closest works (Canadas et al, 2009;Cabello et al, 2009) use the classical MDE-based scheme for developing applications without taking into account the features of the development of knowledge-based systems, in particular, the need for a conceptualization stage or the selection of certain formalism for the knowledge representation.…”

The problem of improving efficiency of intelligence systems engineering remains a relevant topic of scientific research. One of the trends in this area is the use of the principles of cognitive (visual) modelling and design as well as approaches based on generative programming and model transformations. This paper aims to describe the implementation and application of model transformations for prototyping rule-based knowledge bases and expert systems. The implementation proposed uses the main principles of the Model Driven Architecture (MDA) (e.g., model types and creation stages) and considers the features of developing intelligent systems. Therefore, the current research employs the following tools: Ontologies for the representation of the computation-independent model; the author's original notation, namely, the Rule Visual Modelling Language (RVML) to create the platform-independent and platform-specific models; the C Language Integrated Production System (CLIPS) and the Drools Rule Language (DRL) as the programming languages (as the platforms). The approach proposed targets non-programmers (domain experts and analytics) and makes the design process of rule-based expert systems and knowledge bases more efficient. The paper also presents a detailed description of the main elements of the approach including models, transformations and a specialised software (Personal Knowledge Base Designer).

Rule languages and inference engines incorporate reasoning capabilities to Web information systems. This paper presents an approach for the specification and development of Web applications performing the usual functionalities of data management and incorporating a rule engine for reasoning capabilities. The proposed approach is based on the definition of a high-level representation of the semantics of rule-based applications through a formalism for conceptual modeling combining lightweight ontologies and production rules. These models are used as the source for a model-driven method that applies several transformations to conceptual models generating the rule-based Web application code in an automatic process. As a result, the rule-based Web application embeds a rule engine suitable for deducing information by applying an inference process. The structure of the information managed by the Web application is based on ontology classes, whereas the logical expressions applied in reasoning are obtained from production rules of the model. A rule-based Web application has been developed and evaluated using a supporting tool that implements the ideas presented in this paper.
