Abstract

A key feature of the KADS method for knowledge-based system development is the concept of a library of reusable generic models of expertise which are used to bootstrap and guide the analysis process. These are accompanied by a set of generic design frameworks which can be used as a starting point for the design process. This paper describes how the analysis and design components relating to the KADS assessment model, originally used in the domain of credit card fraud detection (the Fraudwatch system), have been successfully reused in the domain of share application fraud detection (the TRAP system).
