Abstract:

This thesis investigation presents the conceptual level development of a knowledge based software engineering environment. A variety of existing software tools are integrated into the environment as well as newly developed knowledge based tools, such as the software module analysis tool designed and implemented for this project. The environment is an extension of concepts from the AFIT Software Development Workbench. System development follows the software engineering lifecycle of requirements analysis, design, implementation, and operation as well as exploratory programmingrapid prototyping techniques.
