This paper reports on a systematic construction method of an expert system for automatic software design. The systematic construction requires: 1. systematic knowledge acquisition; and, 2. systematic method for the design and the implementation. For the former, a software development organization with high maturity is taken as a target expert, and its hierarchical design work process is chosen as the knowledge model. The hierarchical design work process intersects with hierarchically organized documents. As design knowledge is thus hierarchically sectioned, systematic acquisition of the design knowledge becomes possible, resulting in a hierarchical framework with respective design process knowledge in each part. Based on this knowledge model, the model of an expert system for automatic design may be derived. Architecture design on this model is the first part of the systematic construction. For the latter, detail of systematic construction of an expert system unit, corresponding to a work process, is explained. Throughout the design, major Software Engineering practices are followed and further care has been taken to detail the design hierarchically in a small step. This systematic construction leads to a standardized procedures for actual design work. The expert system's characteristics of detailing of design and the learning effect of design knowledge are also reported.
