Abstract

A commercially relevant paradigm for a knowledge-based problem-specific program generator is described. It is applicable to repeatedly implemented software, particularly in the intermediate area between the exclusive and standard software. Not the first implementation, but the repeated ones are supported using the "problem-specific programming knowledge" collected during the past implementations. The technical details, as knowledge representation and functional component, are explained and illustrated on an example. Finally, conditions for an efficient application of the program generator are defined. The system can be developed at a relatively low expense of several months.
