Ontology based Software Engineering for Multi-site Software Development

Guest lecture by Prof. dr. Elisabeth Chang

On May 5 th 2004 there will be a guest lecture at the VUB by Elisabeth Chang on Ontology based Software Engineering for Multi-site Software Development.

The talk is scheduled at 13h on Wednesday 5th May, building F5 room207, VUB campus Oefenplein, Pleinlaan 2, 1050 Brussel. Here you can find detailed information about how to get there.

Ontology based Software Engineering for Multi-site Software Development

The talk gives research issues related to multisite software engineering, we then describe a potential approach - ontology based software development framework and methodology which serve as a foundation for multisite and multi-team interaction, communication, knowledge sharing and decision making. Ontology provide a shared knowledge and common understanding of a specific domain that can be communicated between people and application area. In this talk, we look at software engineering through ontology for multisite development.
