This project concerns itself with a means of both formalizing and               automating the specification process.  It proposes a model of                   specification design that a) is evolutionary, b) is based on                    collaborative problem solving by both analyst and client c) represents          conflicting goals, and d) is knowledge-based.  Efforts are divided              along two broad fronts: 1) the definition of a process model of                 problem-acquisition and specification-construction, and 2) a                    characterization of the form and content of the knowledge underlying            such a model.  The long range goal is to approximate the type of                expertise seen in a competent, experienced, software analyst as he or           she interacts with a client to construct a software specification.                                                                                              The project continues a) the experimental study of expert, human,               software analysts and b) the construction of a system for specification         critiquing derived from such studies, and proposes new work in the              areas of c) conflict and compromise in specification construction, and          d) models of design that extend that of traditional top-down                    refinement.
