Software creation: an intelligent CASE tool experiment for switching software

This paper reports on an automatic software design system used for a switching control system. The design knowledge is gained from diagrams produced by a CASE tool during the initial human design, is stored in each corresponding expert system unit, and is reused for reproducing the design. The design procedure consists of splitting a call process, inserting tasks and detailing. Various considerations for implementing the system in an intelligent CASE tool are discussed.
