Publisher's Synopsis
Until now there has been no common way of collecting, structuring, and formalizing the engineering knowledge associated with designs. This not only makes it hard to plan and organize the process of building knowledge-based engineering applications, but it also means that updating them and reusing modules is almost impossible. Moka - methodology and software tools oriented to knowledge-based engineering applications - was created to fill this need. It is a practical tool to help those involved with building systems that represent knowledge, rather than a set of academic principles.
