Rapid prototyping: a cure for software crisis
Chuck Smyrniotis · 2002
The failure to produce reliable software within a reasonable time and cost and the predicted shortage of software engineers to meet demands for new software have given rise to the so-called software crisis. Rapid prototyping was applied to a number of diverse application areas as the applicability of AI (artificial intelligence) technology was explored. Prototypes have been developed in resource management and scheduling, fluid network design and validation, and imagery exploitation. The authors examine the benefits of rapid prototyping in software development and discuss prototypes they have built and experience they have gained.>
