Abstract
The Computer Aided Prototyping System (CAPS) was created to rapidly prototype
real-time systems to determine early in the development cycle whether system
requirements can be met . The CAPS consists of several software tools that automatically
generate an executable Ada model of the proposed system. This thesis describes the
development of a design database (DDB) for the CAPS. The DDB is an engineering
database that contains all information related to a prototype software design. The DDB
enhances the CAPS environment and the prototyping paradigm by providing to the
designer the functions of storage, retrieval, viewing, and versioning of prototype
components.
Garry Lewis is the primary author of chapters I and II and Drew Dwyer the primary
author of chapters in and IV. In the joint implementation, Lewis focused on the design
database schema and C++/ONTOS issues. Dwyer was responsible for building the
command line interface, the hierarchical k-ary data structures and the C++ classes/methods
for traversing this structure. Items not covered in the above description were mutually
developed.
