Abstract

Selecting technologies for developing software is a crucial activity in software projects. Defect reduction is an example of an area in which software developers have to decide what technologies to use. CeBASE is a NSF funded project that has the role of improving software development by providing decision support on the selection of techniques and tools. The decision support is based on empirical data organized in experience bases and refined into high-level models. Empirical data is collected through various activities, for example through eWorkshops in which experts discuss important issues, and formalized using the lightweight knowledge dust to knowledge pearl process.
