This Phase II effort refines the Phase I effort which resulted in a Prototype set of software tools that provide a mechanism for Automatically converting a set of software requirements, into a Preliminary top-level design structure. The Phase II effort will concentrate on four areas (1) the refinement and further development of the method for automatically converting software requirements to a top level ADA design architecture, (2) the expansion of the methodology to accommodate languages other than ADA, and the automatic production of top level designs implemented in languages other than ADA, (3) the expansion of the technique to accommodate additional requirements analysis generation system, and (4) if practical, the validation of the methodology and the tools on an actual Navy project. The results of this Phase II effort will produce a methodology and a set of software tools that can automatically convert software requirements into a design architecture. The tools and methodology will be shown to be equally applicable to implementations in language other than ADA.
