Abstract:
In software industry, expertise is fundamental to the timely ending of projects, since tasks are solved in a more efficient manner. The expertise of an organization exists in people or artifacts and it is not easy to identify when required because this information does not reside in a repository to facilitate its management in terms of storage, consultation and distribution. This causes uncertainty among members of the organization to determine the appropriate expertise to solve a project activity. The aim of this paper is to present a multi-agent system that supports the expertise location in software development. Using a knowledge flow methodology the barriers that prevent the flow of knowledge and interaction in software development activities were identified and using this information the requirements were elicited. The architecture provides information concerning the location of the appropriate expertise to solve a problem posed by a user making use of the artifacts and experts available in the organization.
