OBJECT MODELING AND CONCURRENT REQUIREMENTS ANALYSIS AT THE FRONT END OF SYSTEM DESIGN
Frank W. Hopkins · INCOSE International Symposium · 1996
Abstract This paper describes a process that provides needed clarity at the front end of system definition and additionally encourages: Modularity with its benefits for modification and reuse, and Requirements compliance and traceability. The process incorporates structured requirements parsing concurrently with top level system architecture definition. The process is implemented easily with a toolset including: a requirements editing and management capability, an object modeling capability, a behavior modeling capability, and a repository for the system model data elements. OMTool by (the former) General Electric and RDD‐100 by Ascent Logic are the tools I have principally used for the process. Other toolset combinations may accomplish the same purpose. Many of these were displayed and demonstrated at NCOSE '95.
