OSTI ID:6984794
The methodology proposed in this dissertation takes the approach that the information-requirements generation process can be made simpler, faster, and less expensive, by its consolidation into an expert system that would be used as a tool by information system analysts and possibly end users. Such a system will incorporate significant parts of the knowledge accumulated by acknowledged experts in this field, as well as industry specific information, and a sophisticated easy-to-use human interface. In addition, new knowledge about the information-requirements generation process can be obtained and documented by the knowledge-acquisition phase of the expert system creation. IREX (Information Requirements EXpert) is a prototype expert system for generating business information requirements. It uses a variation of the BICS methodology which assumes the existence of a finite set of generic models which can be customized for all businesses. IREX was implemented and tested on a microcomputer using the PROLOG language. The tests were conducted in a real world environment where specific information requirements were generated. Results show that the concepts behind IREX lend themselves very nicely to the expert-system approach.
