Alexander Felfernig,Gerhard Friedrich,Dietmar Jannach,Markus Stumptner +3 more
- 01 Jan 2000
TL;DR: This paper presents an integrated development environment consisting of three major components, namely a design component which supports the conceptual design of the configuration model in UML and automatic translation of the design model into a logic representation, a configuration component which allows the interactive design of concrete configurations, and a diagnosis component which support the validation of the generated knowledge bases and the diagnosis of user requirements.
