Description:

Software specification and design, a disciplined approach for real-time systems.

Authors: Ken Shumate and Marilyn Keller

This book addresses the full spectrum of software specification and design in the context of the construction of large hardware/software systems with significant interaction between systems and software engineering. The disciplined approach underlying the specification and design methods provides lessons for the successful management of projects; it can provide a technical foundation for high levels of process maturity consistent with the model advanced by the Software Engineering Institute, and under development by the National Council on Systems Engineering. An important part of the presentation is the explicit consideration of the transition from requirements to design. That is, what goes on, or should go on, in the designer's mind during the process of solution (the design) of the problem (the specification). This portion of the presentation discusses how the software specification may be influenced by object-oriented concepts in order to smooth the creation of the design, and how an object-oriented design results from the combination of specification and design methods.
