....No other part of the work so cripples the resulting system if done wrong. No other part is more difficult to rectify later. This functional exploration is supported by a functional description because it is relatively easy to add, modify, and remove functions. As argued by Lawson [11] unnecessary functions contribute significantly to unnecessary complexity with all its associated risks. A functional model makes the absence or presence of functions more obvious. It makes it also easier to add and remove functions. A functional description is of enormous value for validation ....

....important goal to reduce the development time. It should be possible to verify the behavioural and the time requirements in a computer model, without the hardware [98Mohammed] 4. Low Hardware and Software Overhead (simplifications) The non productive software and hardware should be minimized [Lawson98] Simple solutions are important aspects when the design decisions are taken. The base system and the hardware platform should be as simple and small as possible. 5. Component oriented design, Component design is one important goal for decreasing the development time. The system should easily ....
