A Proposal of Expert System to Select Components for the Product Line Software Engineering

Programming co mpanies in last decades have started to depend more and more on software components in developing their systems in order to save development time and increase the productivity of the company. However, this led to dramatically increase in the number of co mponents, and selecting the appropriate component becomes a tough task. In this paper the authors propose an expert system to help developers choosing the best component fit their requirements. A survey is done to evaluate the efficiency of this proposed solution.
