The ten-year gap between the emergence of Software Engineering (SE) and Knowledge Engineering (KE) has led to the two disciplines developing along different methodological lines. In this paper, we point out that, after having passed through a period during which they ignored each other, followed by a competitive phase, the two disciplines have now reached a meeting point. We see the need for a life-cycle model for systems that integrate traditional and knowledge-based software. Besides, software development in the 21st century will entail open requirements and technological tools that will evolve during the life-cycle. Finally, the paper discusses a proposal for a conical-type spiral life-cycle model that seeks to meet all those needs.

Future Research Directions

Software Engineering (SE) and Knowledge Engineering (KE) are closely related disciplines with goals of turning the development process of software systems and knowledge-based systems, respectively, into engineering disciplines. In particular, they together can provide systematic approaches for engineering intelligent software systems more efficiently and cost-effectively. As there is a large overlap between the two disciplines, the interplay is vital for both to be successful. In this paper, we divide the intersection of SE and KE into three subareas, namely Knowledge-Supported Software Engineering (KSSE), Engineering Knowledge as a Software (EKaaS), and Intelligent Software System Engineering (ISSE). For each subarea, we describe the challenges along with the current trends, and predict the future research directions that may have the most potential for success.
