*The "mock up" DRAFT version 0.0 with this outline and material from 1016-1998 is available from Rich.

For example prepare to discuss your ideas and things like:

  • mandate standards in SDD, only notations/languages with formally defined semantics,
  • completeness criteria for SDD set [design representation as a whole] to include: minimal set of 'well' defined views, tractability to requirements and tests incl. evaluations for non-functional requirements, required self description of contextual expectations for design 'components' and explicit design requirements for product measurements and evaluation oriented elements in the design for self-tests, probes etc.

5-7 PM EST Thrust of Revision (Video is connected)

Argue main thrust of changes to 1016, we all bring the (pieces for) 1 or 2 pages [Word .doc files] for the 0.1 draft [0.0 is the base P1016 from current 1016]* to the meeting, and laptops.

Editing of the 0.1 partial draft into 0.2 complete [very preliminary] draft.

Review of a 0.2 draft and action items, assignment of draft 0.2 elements to produce draft 0.3 and 0.4 [monthly] and 0.5 [the first out for external review, out in March 2002]; WBS elements to individuals and also other work. [Basil to lead this part].
