Description
Summary:An environment to support problem solving provides means for the recognition, specification and analysis of problem situations, and integrates these with automated tools for the realization of systems that will aid in finding and implementing solutions. As such, it addresses both the methodological and the technological aspect of problem solving. An important feature of a problem solving support environment is that the results of both problem analysis (formal descriptions) and solution finding (working system components) can be stored and documented effectively, as they represent knowledge of a specific problem area that can later be applied in related situations.
