Auditdraw: generating audits the FAST way

Abstract

Through a research/development collaboration, we have applied the FAST domain engineering process to the audits software in Lucent Technologies' 5ESS telephone switching system. Our collaboration has developed an application-oriented language, toolset, and accompanying process for specifying the requirements and generating the code for the 5ESS audits software. We describe the FAST process, our language, and the expected benefits of this project.
