| Abstract: | The Jackson System Development (JSD) method addresses most of the software lifecycle. JSD specifications consist mainly of a distributed network of processes that communicate by message-passing and by read-only inspection of each other's data. A JSD specification is therefore directly executable, at least in principle. Specifications are developed middle-out from an initial set of "model" processes. The model processes define a set of events, which limit the scope of the system, define its semantics, and form the basis for defining data and out- puts. Implementation often involves reconfiguring or transforming the network to run on a smaller number of real or virtual processors. The main phases of JSD are introduced and illustrated by a small example system. The rationale for the approach is also discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
