2.0 Ongoing Research & Development

2.1 Methodology Descriptions

In addition to Addison-Wesley and Prentice-Hall, the MORALE methodology guidebooks have been sent to McGraw-Hill for review.

2.2 Tool Development

ISVis (Interactive Scenario Visualizer) - The ISVis tool has completed internal alpha testing. User documentation and installation instructions have been composed. An animated version of the tutorial has been constructed using MacroMedia Director. A glossy brochure has been prepared.
GBRAM (Goal-based requirements analysis methodology) completed, validated, and documented. GBRAM is a precursor for Scenic.
GBRAT (Goal-based requirements analysis tool), the precursor to ScenIC View, was completed, used, and validated.
Scenic version 1 defined. An information model for Scenic View was completed.
SBF (Structure-Behavior-Function) schema definitions were refined.
SIRRINE-1 prototype was completed.
Reverse engineering international resource repository defined and created. The repository is designed to contain tools, experimental results and case studies, bibliographies, and educational materials.

3.0 Notable Accomplishments & Technology Transition

The MORALE presentation and demo for Seattle has been prepared. A loner machine has been obtained from SUN.
Use of Autognostic (SIRRINE precursor) in robot planning at Ulm University.
SAAM is being explored jointly by Georgia Tech and the SEI for purposes of transitioning it to a wider base of industrial applications.
Tutorial presentation of Scenic at CAiSe.
Use of Scenic by CREWS project in Europe.

4.0 Progress on Inter/Intra Cluster Collaboration

Work with Greg Johnson on integration scenario for Seattle.
