Computing Ctr. Lines: 19 We are looking for references that point out some of the inadequacies of Structured Analysis methods (ala Yourdon, for instance) in a Software Development Process for AI software. We have a couple of references vouching for the utility of Rapid Prototyping and Exploratory Programming (thanks, by the way, for those who pointed me to some of these references), but not explicitly contrasting this with the more traditional Structured Design/Analysis methods. These references are needed by our AI group for a "Convince the Software Managers" session. :-) Any help greatly appreciated! - Marty Hall Arpa: hall@hopkins AI and Simulation Dept, MP E-315 UUCP: seismo!umcp-cs!aplcen!jhunix!ins_amrh Martin Marietta Baltimore Aerospace 103 Chesapeake Park Plaza Baltimore, MD 21220 (301) 682-0917
