Application domain: component classification
Description:
NEXTRA [Next89] classifies user-defined objects according to specific attributes. Attributes are assigned values within a scale from 1 to 9 that can be interpreted differently dependent on the type of object. Assuming that NEXTRA is used for a classification of text processing systems the following model could be defined:
- objects: text processing systems
- selected attributes:
- number of functions: values: very few(1) .. many(9)
- graphical presentation: values: poor(1) .. excellent(9)
As a result NEXTRA visualizes the classification of objects through different graphical presentations. The relations between objects and attributes can be translated to rules for the expert system NEXPERT OBJECT.
Special features:
- various types of diagrams for the classification of objects
Requirements: MS Windows
