A COMPUTERIZED TUTOR FOR ARCHITECTING SOFTWARE - Supporting the Creative Aspects of Software Development

José L. Fernández-Sánchez, Javier Carracedo Pais

Abstract

CASE tools must be more user-oriented, and support creative problem-solving aspects of software engineering as well as rigorous modelling based on standard notations such as UML. Knowledge based systems and particularly intelligent agents provide the technology to implement user-oriented CASE tools. Here we present an intelligent agent implemented as a CASE tool module. The agent guides the software architect through the architecting process, suggesting him the actions to be performed and the methodology rules that apply to the current problem context.
