Foundations for an expert system in domain-specific traceability

摘要: Attempts to utilize information retrieval techniques fully automate the creation of traceability links have been hindered by terminology mismatches between source and target artifacts. Therefore, current trace algorithms tend produce imprecise incomplete results. In this paper we address mismatch proposing an expert system which integrates a knowledge base domain concepts their relationships, set logic rules for defining relationships artifacts based on these rules, process mapping into structure against can be applied. This lays down core foundations needed integrate automated tracing process. We construct inference part large industrial project in transportation empirically show that our approach significantly improves precision recall generated links.
