I'm looking for information about a lot of software/management tools and techniques, which I've come across by name, but haven't been able to identify further. 1. ABCL 2. ASTEC 3. ASTRAP 4. DE WOLF 5. DSS - Decision Support System 6. FAN 7. GALPAT 8. HDM - Hierarchical Design Method 9. IRS 10. KEE 11. KNOWLEDGE CRAFT 12. MICROTEXT 13. MIPSE 14. PMS 15. PODEM 16. SAW - Systems Analysis Workbench 17. SDM - Systems Design Methodology 18. SDS - Software Development System 19. SFC - Structured Flow Charts 20. TAGS - Techniques for Automatic Generation of Systems Things I'd like to know are : what is it? what does it do? features & facilities? who developed it? where can I get more information? what machines? cost? strengths & weaknesses? competitors? users' applications? users' opinions? - but even partial information would be helpful.

PODEM and FAN are algorithms which generate test vectors for digital circuits to uncover stuck-at faults. GALPAT is typically used as a RAM test and is of O(n**2). For a pointer to more references on these subjects, see Pradhan, Dhiraj K. Fault Tolerant Computing, Theory and Techniques, Volume 1, Chapter 1 Prentice-Hall, 1986 Kurt Chan HP, Roseville Networks
