Challenges of CHALLENGE large-scale system and software development
System software is becoming larger and more complex due to the increasing sophistication of services.
As a result, concurrent development by multiple teams in parallel across companies and departments has become the mainstream.
In systems and software development, a top-down development approach, in which the system is progressively detailed from the whole to the parts, is ideal, but the
The reality is that the majority of development is bottom-up change and derivative development.
In large-scale development, the gap between "top-down development" and "bottom-up development", which utilizes existing assets, has become a major issue in the development process.
The reconciliation of various inconsistencies, such as misalignment of design data between "top-down development" and "bottom-up development", which utilizes existing assets, has become a major issue in the development process across organizations. It is.
The approach of adapting the CONCEPT tool to the process in the field
Next Design is a next-generation design tool for systems and software development.
The 'metamodel', which defines the structure and relationship of design information for each process, and
the 'view definition', which is a diagram and document representation for expressing it, can be adapted to the perspective and use of the development site to create a dedicated design It can be made into a tool.

Metamodels and views for dedicated tools
It is a design tool that fits the actual situation of
development while taking advantage of the strengths of the field.
Changes are followed by other views.
When designers make changes to their designs, they are automatically reflected in all
relevant views.
Your design data is always up-to-date and there is no risk of missing updates.
FEATURE Features
Next Design offers a wide range of features that provide advanced support for system and software design.
Key features include a wide variety of design expressions that fit the field process, team development support, and design traceability support required for quality assurance.
CASE Application Examples
Examples of applications for top-down development
By defining the artifacts of each process and their relationship to each other as a metamodel and assigning the appropriate views, the
It is possible to operate with high accessibility across processes.
Application to Derivative Development
It can also be applied to bottom-up development, which is driven by existing assets and inherent rules.
Other Design Applications
-
Model representation in UML/SysML
-
Applications to Process Design
By defining the relationships between the processes and the elements of the deliverables in a meta-model, it can be applied to the design of
processes, etc.
