Colleagues,

I'm writing a "Software Development Plan" for a system that I estimate
is a hundred thousand lines of code (a forty man-year effort).  It's a
mission planning and data processing facility for a scientific
satellite.  I'm interested in the Cleanroom methodology described in,
for example,

        Richard H. Cobb and Harlan D. Mills
        "Engineering Software under Statistical Quality Control"
        IEEE Software, pages 44-54, November 1990

but I can't find enough practical information on the methodology to
adapt it to my situation.  Some of the article's references have
appealing titles, but my library doesn't have them.

I'd appreciate hearing of any easily available references and any
applicable experiences you've had.
