A system is described which supports a real-time simulation environment for embedded computersystemssoftware. Its originality is in providing an environment which is very similar to the system integrated testbed, yet highly reliable and available. Thus, it permits comprehensive testing of the operational software at a very early stage.

The author presents an example of an organization, a hospital, comprising a wide spectrum of simple-to-complex interrelated subsystems. The experience gained from developing a large hospital information system over a period of ten years is used to demonstrate some of the problems concerning information system technology and some possible engineering solutions.

The author discusses the hypertext concept, which is of interest as an electronic writing, reading, thinking, and communication tool that uses the power of computers for more than display and editing. The hypertext features fit a wide range of applications, the most challenging of which is analysis and design activities, including CASE (computer-aided system engineering) tools. The design of a practical, specific-domain, hypertextlike system for a group of collaborating information analysts that is based on successful past experience with building and using such a tool is discussed.

A description is given of a software package that defines the operational modes of a command and control console using an interactively editable simulation of this operation. The package runs on a TI-Explorer Lisp machine and uses rapid-prototyping techniques and AI tools and methodology. The future prospects of similar programs as lifetime support for small command and control systems are predicted, showing possible support in the areas of sales, definition, coding, integration, and maintenance.

The authors discuss the methods used for problem identification, marking, and their documentation during the integration and maintenance phases of a project. They show the actual forms used to report the problems and their solutions and examples of the management reports used for follow-up and analysis. Interactive screen-oriented tools used to support the methodology are outlined.

This panel discussion looks at the debate over life-cycle models and the adequacy (or inadequacy) of the waterfall model. It addresses the following issues: (1) whether a generic paradigm for software life cycle is possible or needed;(2) what aspects of the softwareengineering should be addressed by such models and what issues should be left open;and (3) what role such a model should play in industrial practices and what limits should be set for its applicability.

An object-oriented development approach that views the extension of the system under development as a generic ongoing process is described. This approach is based on building an object-oriented model of the real world in the analysis stage and continuously enhancing this model into a functional computer system in the successive stages of the development cycle. In order to evaluate this approach, the concept of an extensibility chart is defined as an evaluation tool for establishing the extensibility attributes of software development methodologies.

Conclusions based on the use of the Ada programming language in an air-force unit developing operational software are summarized. The conclusions are grouped according to the aspect of the system's life cycle to which they refer, namely, design, coding, integration, and maintenance. These are followed by some general conclusions. The satisfactory results obtained with Ada have led to the decision to use it as the language for every new system developed.
