Abstract

A method for rapidly producing highly functional prototypes is described. This method, called software storming, involves experts in the initial design and implementation of a system during an intense development effort that combines knowledge engineering with the latest advances in software-development technology and workstation hardware The experiment described is a test of tools and techniques developed in the field of artificial intelligence as well as the first step in the development of software storming. Using this approach, the authors developed a software prototype which possesses significantly more functionality than a standard prototype, in less than four months.
