A modular knowledge base has been developed and implemented in support of this study. The knowledge base consists of two separate components, the database and the rule base. The database is external to the main system, while the rule base resides in the main system as the 'controller' of the operation. The modularized knowledge base offers the user easy and quick maintenance of facts and rules.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":117336,"journal":{"name":"[1991] Proceedings of the IEEE/ACM International Conference on Developing and Managing Expert System Programs","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1991-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134059202","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These methodologies range from radical (all activities take place in parallel) to conservative (one activity is finished before the next is started). By combining methodologies that come from both ends of this spectrum, a new methodology that contains the best aspects of each can be produced. The structured project life cycle is a methodology that is moderately conservative. The prototyping life cycle is a methodology that is radical. By combining these methodologies a new life cycle called the structured prototype life cycle is produced. This new methodology combines the rigor of the structured approach with the flexibility and quick production of results from prototyping.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":117336,"journal":{"name":"[1991] Proceedings of the IEEE/ACM International Conference on Developing and Managing Expert System Programs","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1991-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132467949","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
