Software requirements specification for the HAWK operating system
Victor P. Holmes, David L. Harris, CHARLES BORGMAN, George S. Davidson · 1989
This document represents the original requirements specification for the HAWK operating system. HAWK is the operating system for the SANDAC V, a real-time embedded multiprocessor based on the Motorola 68020 microprocessor. When the effort to create the operating system was first undertaken, it was clear that a careful specification of the requirements would be vital. Unfortunately, there were few models to work from since requirement documents for operating systems of any kind are seldom published. The final form of the requirements used a functional organization adapted from the IEEE Guide to Software Requirements Specifications (ANSI/IEEE Std 830-1984). Hopefully, this document will provide a historical case study from which others can benefit when faced with similar circumstances. 2 refs., 4 figs.
