  • Reusability and requirements engineering in intelligent systems
    Welzer-Družovec, Tatjana ...
    Artificial intelligence has many areas of interest. The area of intelligent systems is one of the most important and successfull. Some definitions state that in some way the intelligent systems are a ... form of information systems. This was successfully introduced from research domain of artificial intelligence in the information system practice. According to some references is the hardest single part of building any system, either information, software or intelligent one, deciding what to build. No other part of conceptual work is so difficult as establishing the detailed technical requirements. As in many other fields researchers propose new methods to deal with the problems and practitioners eventually adopt some of them. In this paper we will propose reusability to support and influence reqiurements engineering. Reusability is actually a very simple activity that is not even listed in most dictionaries. In the software environment requirements, design models, test documents and many other products of he softwareprocess can be reused. However, our approach is not concentrated on software reusability, but rather on database and intelligent systems reusability which are not so often re-used, but they are the main goal of the MetaBase project. MetaBase is an object oriented repository which provides a structure for archiving reusable components of several applications not only medical information systems. All possible conceptual models are classified according to business domain and functional domain of their application domains. The structure of the repository allows not only storing reusable database components of several applications but also to classify and compare components from different applications.
