Summary: | Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited === The Computer Aided Prototyping System (CAPS) and the Prototype System
Description Language (PSDL) represent a pioneering effort in the field of software
development. The implementation of CAPS will enable software engineers to
automatically validate design specifications and functional requirements early in
the design of a software system through the development and execution of a
prototype of the system under construction.
Execution of the prototype is controlled by an Execution Support System
(ESS) within the framework of CAPS. One of the critical elements of the ESS is the
Static Scheduler which extracts critical timing constraints and precedence
information about operators from the PSDL source that describes the prototype.
The Static Scheduler then uses this information to determine whether a feasible
schedule can be built, and if it can, constructs the schedule for operator execution
within the prototype. === http://archive.org/details/staticschedulerf00marl === Lieutenant Commander, United States Navy
