A Method for Populating the Knowledge Base of APTAS, a Domain-Oriented Application Composition System

Abstract

A formal process is described for populating the knowledge base of the Automatic Programming Technologies for Avionics Software (APTAS) system. This process was developed using a general knowledge base population process that applies to many knowledge-based software engineering systems. This general process is also described. The formal process for APTAS was demonstrated by storing new information from the radar tracking domain into the knowledge base of APTAS. Several procedures (some automatic and some manual) were implemented to support the formal process. Knowledge base population, Domain analysis, Knowledge-based systems, Expert systems, Knowledge acquisition, Software engineering.
