Case Study Framework and Relevant UML Diagrams

Case Study Framework We would like all of our case studies to have a common system development and design framework: Problem Statement Generation of User Requirements Simplified Models of System Behavior Modeling the System Structure Creating the Logical Design Creating the Physical Design Evaluation and Ranking of System Design Alternatives System Optimization and Tradeoff Analysis Generalizing the Problem Domain for System Reuse References and Web Resources Small Case Study Problems Small case study problems will be developed by students in the MSSE program. Systems Development and Design of a 4-way Traffic Intersection . Systems Development and Design of a Portable CD Player (Tarun Luthra). Large Case Study Investigations Larger case study investigations (and associated research) will be conducted in collaboration with US industry. Integrating Geospatial Object Models with the Semantic Web (Michael Casey). Requirements Engineering for 3D Model-Based Engineering. (Dr. Bernie Frankpitt). Systems Issues for Bioinformatics and Databases (Prof. John Baras).
