An Expert System for Developing a Full Scale Development Statement of Work

Abstract

The purpose of this project is to determine the need and feasibility of developing an expert system to assist in the development of a Statement of Work (SOW) for the Full Scale Development (FSD) phase of the acquisition cycle. This project also determines the feasibility of transporting this expert system to a microcomputer. The methodology involves a six step process for developing a small scale expert system. The first step involves choosing a tool. The tool chosen for this project is KnowledgePro by Knowledge Garden. The second step involves defining the problem. Once the problem is defined, a determination is made on whether an expert system is appropriate for this project using a model developed in a previous thesis project. The third step involves developing the system. The prototype system was developed on an IBM compatible computer using the KnowledgePro development system. The fourth step involves developing a prototype system. The prototype system was developed on an IBM computer using the KnowledgePro development system. The fifth step involved expanding, testing, and revising the system. The sixth step involves maintaining and updating the system. Besides the six steps for developing the expert system, the system was validated. Thesis.
