Abstract:


This paper will describe how the Knowledge-Based Software Assistant /
Advanced Development Model brings together technologies from the KBSE domain
along with more traditional software engineering practices in order to
address the pervasive software development problems associated with
complexity, coordination, and automation. This paper describes how the
KBSA/ADM realizes and refines the vision of Rome Laboratory's
Knowledge-Based Software Assistant research program.  The most innovative
aspects of this work have been in the areas of contextual knowledge (i.e.,
design history, discussion databases, and object linking), process support
(i.e., personalized agendas and process enactment), evolution
transformations (i.e., maintained transformations and model spanning
transformations),  critics (i.e., integrating critics with process enactment).
