Knowledge-Based Software Engineering: Proceedings of the Seventh Joint Conference on Knowledge-Based Software Engineering

E. Tyugu and T. Yamaguchi, Editors9781586036409, 1-58603-640-8

This publication addresses the research in theoretical foundations, practical techniques, software tools, applications and / or practical experiences in knowledge-based software engineering. The book also includes a new field: research in web services and semantic web. This is a rapidly developing research area promising to give excellent practical outcome, and it is interesting for theoretically minded as well as for practically minded people. The largest part of the papers belongs to a traditional area of applications of artificial intelligence methods to various software engineering problems. Another traditional section is application of intelligent agents in software engineering. A separate section is devoted to interesting applications and special techniques related in one or another way to the topic of the conference.
