In the early 1980s, a trend towards formal undeIStanding and
knowledge-based assistance for the development and maintenance of
database-intensive information systems became apparent. The group
of John Mylopoulos at the UniveISity of Toronto and their European
collaboratoIS moved from semantic models of information systems
design (Taxis project) towards earlier stages of the software
lifecycle. Joachim Schmidt's group at the University of Hamburg
completed their early work on the design and implementation of
database programming languages (Pascal/R) and began to consider
tools for the development of large database program packages. The
Belgian company BIM developed a fast commercial Prolog which turned
out to be useful as an implementation language for object oriented
knowledge representation schemes and as a prototyping tool for
formal design models. Case studies by Vasant Dhar and Matthias
Jarke in New York pointed out the need for formally representing
process knowledge, and a number of projects in the US and Europe
began to consider computer assistance (CASE) as a viable approach
to support software engineering. In 1985, the time appeared ripe
for an attempt at integrating these experiences in a comprehensive
CASE framework relating all phases of an information systems
lifecycle. The Commission of the European Communities decided in
early 1986 to fund this joint effort by six European software
houses and research institutions in the Software Technology section
of the ESPRIT I program. The project was given the number 892 and
the title DAIDA - Development Assistance for Intelligent Database
Applications."
