An Investigation of Cluster Analysis Techniques as a Means of Structuring Specifications in the Design of Complex Systems

Abstract

The purpose of this thesis is to investigate the use of a specific cluster analysis technique developed by Dr. Raphael Andreu. As a means of imposing a framework upon the requirements for an existing computer operating system forming the first step in the decomposition of the global design problem into subproblems. It is envisioned that the imposition of such a framework on design requirements will provide new insights and understanding of the relationships among requirements which may verify the design or suggest improvements to the design of a sample operating system.
