Requirements Definition within Acquisition and Its Relationship To Post-Deployment Software Support (PDSS)
Abstract
The acquisition process is being viewed, here, as a system, in that an attempt is made to define its functions as well as the relationships between these functions. The resource allocation of the acquisition functions and the realization of these functions is viewed generically in much the same way as a software system is viewed. That is, whereas a software system is eventually resource allocated to a computer, the acquisition process could be resource allocated to a combination of people, organizations, hardware or software (the software itself resource allocated to hardware). The long term goal of this project is to provide a formal definition of the acquisition phases and their relationships. We have now completed the first phase of this project where the short term goal was to understand more formally the relationships between the requirements definition process within the conceptual phase of the acquisition process and the post deployment software support (PDSS) system.
