Abstract
The Computer Aided Prototyping System (CAPS) is an integrated software development environment aimed at rapidly prototyping hard real-time embedded software systems, such as missile guidance systems, space shuttle avionics systems, and military Command, Control, Communication and Intelligence (C3I) systems. One of the major differences between a hard real-time system and a conventional system is that the application software must meet its deadlines even under worst case conditions. The process of design and development of these systems is often plagued with uncertainty, ambiguity and inconsistency. The timing requirements are difficult for the user to provide and for the analysts to determine. It is also very difficult to determine whether a delivered system meets its requirements.
