INTEGRATED DESIGN FOR RESEARCH ORIENTED SYSTEMS: THE SOFTWARE BOTTLENECK

摘要

Successful integrated system design requires the seamless fusion of domain specific knowledge from the encompassing disciplines into a single product. One of the problems which hampers the efficient design of systems is the fact that in many cases end users are initially unable to specify complete requirements. This is also true for software development, and a major bottleneck in the design and evaluation of systems is caused by software development problems. Various rapid prototyping tools exist to aid the user with the requirements specification. This paper discusses an approach which has the capability to smoothly progress beyond the prototyping phase.
