....there is little specific guidance on the design process. The aim of the project described in this section was to elicit and acquire some guidelines for the production of an architectural design. The approach used was based on the probing questions approach, developed at Rome Air Force Base, USA [Kline Dolins, 1989] and further developed at AIAI [Inder et al., 1990] in which a KBS designer is asked a number of questions about the analysed knowledge, with the answers being used to produce some recommendations of suitable representational techniques. The general format of the questions is: if a certain ....

....design involves the selection of AI design methods , such as best first search, blackboard reasoning, or truth maintenance, to implement each function in the functional decomposition. AIAI s pragmatic KADS approach makes use of a set of probing questions, based on the work of Kline Dolins [5], to recommend design methods. ffl Physical design involves the selection of rules, objects, or other low level design techniques to implement the chosen design methods. This proved to be the most difficult of all the analysis and design stages, partly because the behavioural design stage did not ....

....4.2.2 Behavioural design Because KADS provides almost no guidance on behavioural design 11 , a different approach was used for the course selector project. The selection of design methods was based on an approach known as the probing questions approach, originally proposed by Kline and Dolins [10] and developed further at AIAI [11] This approach requires the system designer to ask himself a number of questions about the system. The answers to the questions may arise from user requirements, any layer of the model of expertise, or the data flow specified in the functional decomposition. ....

....used (e.g. blackboard reasoning or model based reasoning) The system developers use a set of probing questions which can assist the process of deciding if a particular architecture is appropriate. These questions are designed to encode a developer s heuristics about the task (see [Mac92] or [KD89] The recommendations of the probing questions were: ffl Use rule based programming [ 8] ffl Use data driven reasoning [ 6] ffl Use shallow reasoning [ 3] ffl Use goal driven reasoning [ 3] ffl Don t use confirmation by exclusion [ 5] ffl Use canned text for explanations [ 4] ffl ....
