Abstract

MARTINEZ-GARCIA, José Ramón et al. Knowledge Condensation Model for Support of Expertise Location in Software Development. Comp. y Sist. [online]. 2023, vol.27, n.1, pp.183-208.  Epub June 16, 2023. ISSN 2007-9737.  https://doi.org/10.13053/cys-27-1-4101.

To support their knowledge needs, finding relevant expertise is a critical need in software organizations. Developers use it and accumulate expertise from the technologies they use and the problems solved within projects. Currently, members of the organizations have yet to benefit from this expertise. Learning how to model it might enable access to the best practices and problem-solved information. This work presents a model that implements the knowledge condensation concept to capture expertise during the software development process. The aim is to classify, retrieve, and share valuable knowledge among stakeholders in an unsuitable form for its recovery. The model consists of three modules: formal grammar, semantic knowledge, and expertise tools. The formal grammar module presents an approach to formalize how developers store and share their knowledge. The semantic knowledge module presents an architectural knowledge model. Finally, we presented two prototypes in the expertise tools module that use the semantic knowledge module elements.

Keywords : Knowledge representation; software development; architectural knowledge.
