Abstract

The Adaptive Response Model (ARM) Editor, a research prototype, is a knowledge-based system that supports the definition and manipulation of documents used in software development. This system represents a new approach to software documentation support in that knowledge about documentation is used to facilitate the automatic production of software documents. Most previous work has been on structure editor systems that allow manipulation of document parts as objects, or on user-embedded code systems, such as formatting systems, requirements traceability systems, and document generator systems. These latter systems work only if the proper codes have been embedded.
