Knowledge system development

Results of knowledge analysis can be used as specifications for the development of a system that implements this task. Such knowledge systems had a bad reputation some time ago, when AI was still in its early stages. But now, businesses are building such systems routinely to act as intelligent assistants to human work. .
CommonKADS places the emphasis on the early stages of system development. Once you have a detailed specification of a knowledge model, CommonKADS provides you with a clear route to implementation. Typically, the time required for design and implementation is much less than one would expect. Initial prototypes cane be designed and implanted within weeks or even days.
This is a feature common to all moderns development methods, namely that effort is shifted from later phases of development to the earlier phases (analysis). This requires quick feedback cycles for developers, prototyping tools to test specifications, etc. CommonKADS provides those tools and techniques.
