Project management techniques for knowledge-based systems development

The management aspects of developing knowledge-based systems software are examined. These management concepts and heuristics have evolved in conjunction with the development of knowledge-based systems for US Air Force and Army battle managers. However, these development techniques and associated management procedures can also be applied to knowledge-based software systems in general, as well as to software applications which embody operations research and decision analytic technologies. The present discussion of the management methodology uses the example of an ongoing program in artificial intelligence, namely the Heuristic Route Optimization Program (HERO)
