The
development of knowledge based systems presents different
challenges to more traditional information systems development. A
different took-kit is required to tackle the key complex task of
analysis and design of knowledge based systems. The choice of
methodology can seriously influence the success of a knowledge
based project.
The focus of the course is
best practice, the theme of the course is the complexity of
knowledge based systems development. The suitability and
limitations of the more ‘traditional’ systems analysis and design
practice for the purpose of knowledge based systems will be
explored. Both the aspect-oriented and adaptive approach to
software development will be introduced. |
