Status report: computer-aided prototyping

Abstract

The application of prototyping, the construction and analysis of an executable model that approximates a proposed system, to software engineering is described. In the paper, the role of computer-aided prototyping in software development is assessed, the supporting technology necessary for prototyping to reach its potential is identified, and directions for future work are suggested.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
