....Resolution Proposals The model does not prescribe a method for generating resolutions. Consideration of the category and severity of the conflict components, as described in the previous section, provides an initial method. Beyond this, a range of design methods documented elsewhere (e.g. Finkelstein Finkelstein [1983]) might be employed, depending on the components of the conflict, and the form of resolution required. The categorisation of conflicts helps to determine what form a resolution should take. For example, conflicts in terminology, once detected, can be resolved by prompting for distinguishing ....

....have the same set of techniques available for extracting the information, including various types of interview, observing people in action (and subsequent debriefing) tutoring, and case analysis. Most of the information gathered in this way is needed throughout the lifecycle of the software. Finkelstein Finkelstein [1983] describe the processes involved in requirements formulation. There are three basic systematic methods: the use of check lists; lateral (or divergent) idea generation; and formal specification languages. Decomposition and abstraction are important parts of the process, removing barriers to ....

....(X 1 , X n ) and each of the actions can be evaluated for each attribute, yielding a vector of values for each action. Comparison between two action involves the comparison of the two vectors, and weights can be used to give emphasis to attributes that contribute to particular objectives [Finkelstein Finkelstein 1983]. There are, of course, a number of complications to this model. Firstly, the attributes are likely to be of incommensurable units, making direct comparisons difficult. Intangibles, especially psychological aspects, need to be taken into account, and these are notoriously difficult to measure and ....

....and record for each book both its physical whereabouts and its loan status. 3.3.2. Generating Resolution Options The model does not prescribe a particular method of generating resolutions. As already noted, this is a design problem, and design methods are already well documented elsewhere (e.g. Finkelstein Finkelstein [1983]) A range such methods might be usefully employed for generating options, depending on the components of the conflict, and the form of resolution required. Consideration of the category of the conflict components, as described in the previous section, may immediately provide one or more ....

....of design and, finally, the automation of (or automated support for) design. There exists an extensive literature of the topic. The authors have, among others, reviewed the literature of the classical views of design methodology and presented the generally accepted model of the design process [Fink83]. More recently Burton [Burton90] has reviewed the literature comprehensively and analysed critically the evidence in support of the generally accepted, or consensus, model. As part of the SEED project, the deficiencies of the classical model have been examined, and a model more consistent with ....
