A broad-based collection of chapters which address the area of overlap between the fields of artificial intelligence and software engineering. A taxonomy of this overlap area is developed and related to other major attempts to address the interaction between these two fields. Each of the four major subareas--AI-based support environments, software engineering tools and techniques, methodological issues of AI-software development and AI techniques in practical software--is described and illustrated with representative examples.
