Hello World, does anyone out there in netland know anything about Merise. I think it is a system development technique. Is it a notatition? Is it a method? How is it used to development of systems? Has anyone had any practical experience of it? Are there any references to it? Who developed it? Why was it developed? Are there any support tools? etc, etc, etc.... If you are still awake could you either mail me at the address given below or post details to the net. Thanks P.A.R ========================================================================= E-Mail : prea@axion.bt.co.uk Organisation : British Telecom Research Laboratories (RT3123) Snail Mail : BTRL, Rm 23 SSTF, Martlesham Heath, IPSWICH IP5 7RE, UK Telephone : +44 473 645104 Quote : "Wot, no quote!" =========================================================================

MERISE is an information system design and development methodology. It supports the four stages of information system development and uses several perspectives. It combines an ER approach for data and a Petri net based approach for processes. I have several references (articles, books, etc.) and will post them to the net if anyone is interested. At our university there is also some experience in using the methodology. It originated from Sema-matra in France and Gamma International, also in France. I think there are support tools available, and i can check if you are interested. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Alexander Verbraeck e-mail: Delft University of Technology winfave@hdetud1.bitnet Department of Information Systems winfave@dutrun.uucp PO Box 356, 2600 AJ The Netherlands ---------------------------------------------------------------------

Several people asked for the Merise references. It took some time to look them up, but here they are. Rochfeld, A. and H. Tardieu, MERISE: An information system design and development methodology. In: Information and Management 6, 1983. Tardieu, H., A. Rochfeld, and R. Colletti, La Methode MERISE: principes et outils, Editions d'organisation, Paris, 1983. Tardieu, H., A. Rochfeld, R. Colletti, G. Panet and G. Vahee, La Methode MERISE: demarche et pratiques, Editions d'organisation, Paris, 1985. The last two books are very useful when using Merise. They are, however, in French. It is possible that Merise is discussed in several conference proceedings. If I find more references, i'll post them. There were some questions on support tools for MERISE. Some of the well- known techniques are supported by -for instance- Excelerator. The PACBASE tool supports a large part of the MERISE life-cycle. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Alexander Verbraeck e-mail: Delft University of Technology winfave@hdetud1.bitnet Department of Information Systems winfave@dutrun.uucp PO Box 356, 2600 AJ The Netherlands ---------------------------------------------------------------------
