Project Management using Hypermedia CASE Tools

Traditional project management tools:

  • Lack the ability to capture multitude of decisions
  • Do not provide document control

    Decision Based Systems Development Paradigm (DBSD)

    Decision-based Hyper-Multimedia CASE (DHC)

    Objects in extended document base are linked by five types of links:
  • Reference to problems/decisions in problem space (SEE links)
  • Reference to a single on-line document (REFER on-line links)
  • Reference to a Decision View of a document set (VIEW links)
  • Timed reference to a contact person (CONTACT links)
  • References to off-line documents (REFER off-line links)

    Applied to Low-Visibility Landing and Surface Operations (LVLASO) project at NASA Langley Research Center.
