Abstract

A methodology for validation is provided for the architecture of Knowledge based Engineering KBE applications. A standard approach to validation is introduced, followed by the Synergistic Validation Methodology SVM, which addresses four key aspects of KBE system validation: a software architecture, b product design process, c artificial intelligence, and d knowledge acquisition. The synergistic methodology is introduced as a comprehensive approach to validation of Knowledge-based engineering systems. This SVM approach is shown to be divided into four target divisions addressing multiple areas each, which correspond to well-defined methodologies in terms of general standards, techniques, and methods utilized. The five-tier pre-validation and post-validation process is intended to verify and validate reconfigurable, modular, and scalable KBE systems.
