Abstract

The acronym KADS (Knowledge Analysis and Design Support) has come to stand for a group of methods which can be applied to knowledge-based system development. KADS has become the de facto European standard and is being used with ever increasing frequency in North America as, for example, with the SOAR model [9]. As stated in the preface, the purpose of this book is to provide a full explanation of KADS plus a handbook for the use of KADS' methods. The authors' objective is to convince their target readers (practising computer professionals already well acquainted with the basic concepts of artificial intelligence) to adopt and use KADS. Note that although Prolog is the favored language in Europe, as well as that used by the developers of KADS, it is not used in this book, which simplifies the task of LISP users in applying the methods proposed.
