Abstract

La présente invention se rapporte à un système technique avancé intégré comprenant des processus et méthodes complexes concernant les flux de travaux, des techniques Internet avancées et des systèmes experts. La présente invention permet aux utilisateurs de: (1) collaborer au sein d'une architecture client/serveur sur l'évolution de plans d'exécution de projets logiciels, les exigences du système et les exigences logicielles, des questions techniques relatives aux flux de travaux et aux systèmes et des détails de conception; (2) développer et interagir avec un système expert à base de connaissances évolutives au sein d'un environnement commandé au moyen d'icônes graphiques; (3) analyser les interactions entre le calendrier de travail, les buts et les réalisations des utilisateurs; (4) utiliser les informations en temps réel qui se transforment dynamiquement en fonction d'entrées fournies par l'utilisateur et un système expert intégré et (5) travailler plus efficacement avec une base de connaissances sure, conçue pour des environnements de cadres de travail fortement dynamiques.
