Knowledge-Based Approach to the Executable Design Concept

The paper describes the Executable Design Concept which is one of the main components of HeKatE: Hybrid Knowledge Engineering methodology. HeKatE project aims at developing a methodology and supporting technologies for Software Engineering based on Knowledge Engineering methods and paradigms. The Executable Design is a concept which allows to close the so-called semantic gap which exists between software design and its implementation. Thanks to the HeKatE ARD/XTT approach software can be designed in a new, declarative, knowledge-based way. The Executable Design assures that ARD/XTT design can be easily turned into a running application without any other efforts such as coding. The paper presents the Executable Design from the methodological and technological points of view of the HeKatE project.
