An Integrated Methodology and Tools for Software Development.

Abstract

This research has developed a methodology for the development of software and several tools to help the designers of software systems. The methodology incorporate models of various aspects of a system under development. They include models of how efficiently the system will perform, what function the system will compute, and what alternatives the designers have considered and decided against. The methodology was applied to data base systems, where it works in a way that agrees with present experience with those systems. The tools that were developed include models of system performance, specification languages, a design documentation language, facilities for modelling conceptual entities and several ways to control the complexity of processes that are operating in parallel (concurrent programs).
