%A Gruia-Catalin Roman %T A Taxonomy of Current Issues in Requirements Engineering %J Computer %I IEEE %V 18 %N 4 %D April 1985 %P 14-23 %X The growing area of requirements specification still needs a broader formal foundation, more automation, new development methods, and a higher level of integration into the design process. %K specifications functional requirements software development %A Applications and Extensions of SADT %T Douglas T. Ross %J Computer %I IEEE %V 18 %N 4 %D April 1985 %P 25-34 %X Embodying an organized discipline of thought and action, the SADT methodology has been successful in many applications previously though too nebulous for technical treatment %K structured analysis and design technique software engineering %A Mack Alford %T SREM at the Age of Eight: The Distributed Computing Design System %J Computer %I IEEE %V 18 %N 4 %D April 1985 %P 35-46 %X SREM has been extended. Now a requirements-driven model for integrated software engineering environments, SREM has new tools to support its application, the Distributed Computing Design System %K software requirements engineering method software engineering specifications finite state machine fsm SYSREM system %A Paul A. Scheffer %A Albert H. Stone\ III %A William E. Rzepka %T A Case Study of SREM %J Computer %I IEEE %V 18 %N 4 %D April 1985 %P 47-54 %X This methodology can improve the integrity of a large software system description, but it is labour intensive and hard to learn %K software requirements engineering method software engineering specifications finite state machine fsm SYSREM system %A Gene E. Sievert %A Terrence A. Mizell %T Specification-Based Software Engineering with TAGS %J Computer %I IEEE %V 18 %N 4 %D April 1985 %P 56-65 %X Aiming at the cause, not just the symptoms, a system based on a new software development paradigm promises a cure for the software crisis %K technology for the automated generation of systems iorl input output requirements language software design methodology %A Stephanie M. White %A Jonah Z. Lavi %T Embedded Computer Systems Requirements Workshop %J Computer %I IEEE %V 18 %N 4 %D April 1985 %P 67-70 %X Developing embedded computer systems requires extensive requirements analysis, support methodologies, and software tools. A Naval Research Laboratory workshop provided the forum for identifying specific recommendations and areas where standards could be developed %K specifications %A M. Chandrashekharan %A B. Dasarathy %A Z. Kishimoto %T Requirements-Based Testing of Real-Time Systems: Modeling for Testability %J Computer %I IEEE %V 18 %N 4 %D April 1985 %P 71-80 %X The finite-state model captures the external behaviour of real-time systems, facilitating test generation and modelling %K gtd-5 eax telecommunications software fsm finite state machine sdl specification and design language test plan generator tpg requirements language processor rlp %A Alexander Borgida %A Sol Greenspan %A John Mylopoulos %T Knowledge Representation as the Basis for Requirements Specification %J Computer %I IEEE %V 18 %N 4 %D April 1985 %P 82-91 %X Research on knowledge representation in artificial intelligence addresses fundamental issues that software engineering must eventually face, and provides a wealth of relevant techniques that can be incorporated into specification languages -- - peter bain ...!{allegra|decvax|clyde|ihnp4 }!watmath!wateng!pdbain hard mail: CCNG, CPH-2369A, University of Waterloo, Waterloo, Ont.
