[comp.software-eng] HOOD ?

alanb@minster.york.ac.uk (10/16/90)

I am trying to obtain papers describing the latest version of the HOOD
design method, and/or descriptions of its application and use.

So far all I have is a HOOD manual (issue 2.1, December 1987).  There must
be some papers dated later than that !!

Can anyone help ???

Thanks,


Alan Brown.

Why not contact the folks over at SSL directly.  I have an overview
brochure (1989) of their HOOD Toolset.  The address for enquiries
is given as:

hope this helps,

The Eclipse work at SSL resulted in the formation of a spin-off company :-

     Ipsys PLC
     Marlborough Court
     Pickford Street
     Macclesfield
     SK11 6JD
     Tel: 0625 616722
     Fax: 0625 616780

I believe that the marketing of the Ipsys HOOD toolset has been taken over
by GEC Marconi Software Systems. Ipsys are the people to contact for
technical information.
