Abstract
The author discusses Shadow, an experimental system combining hypertext (H) and artificial intelligence (AI) techniques to support software engineering (SE)-a HAISE system. She focuses on how we use AI for knowledge acquisition and navigation in hypertext databases. She describes the use of hypertext systems to support software engineering and examines how to use AI to assist software development by using hypertext database knowledge. She explores difficulties with this approach, including the problems of search versus browsing, user (dis)orientation, and the additional complexity that complicated tools add to the software development process. In addition to HAISE, the author discusses the Augment, Intermedia, Neptune, and Knoesphere hypermedia systems.Keywords
