KNOWLEDGE-BASED SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT TOOLS Douglas R. Smith (SMITH@KESTREL.ARPA) Kestrel Institute 11:00 AM, MONDAY, June 1 SRI International, Building E, Room EJ228 We describe some of the experimental knowledge-based software development tools under development at Kestrel Institute. In particular, we discuss systems for automatically performing algorithm design, deduction, optimization (finite differencing), data structure selection, and performance estimation. We show how these systems could cooperate in supporting the transformation of a formal specification of a schedule optimization problem into efficient code. VISITORS: Please arrive 5 minutes early so that you can be escorted up from the E-building receptionist's desk. Thanks!
