[net.space] software modeling for space station

al@ames.UUCP (Al Globus) (07/24/84)

We're designing a space station simulator to study human factors.
One of the things the crew must interact with is the data system, including
the software.  Any good ideas on modeling data systems in general and software
in particular without writing the whole thing?  Simply implementing even
just the on board software is prohibitive, much less ground software the
crew will likely have access to.
