Capitalizing Software Development Skills Using CBR: The CIAO-SI System

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNAI,volume 3029))

Abstract

This paper presents a CBR-Based tool dedicated to the capitalization of development experience/knowledge within a software development company. The tool (called CIAO-SI) provides developers with appropriate assistance during the development process. The core of CIAO-SI is a memory of software artifacts (models, documents, source code...) which may be produced in a given CASE tool and easily retrieved using a relevant indexation structure. The retrieval process is supported by domain and tasks ontologies related either to some software development processes (RUP, Merise...) or to some application domains (Human Resources Management, accounting, banking...).
