Visit their Web site athttp://www.sei.cmu.edu/cmm/.If you would like to know more about the spiral approach to software design,you might want to start with the seminal paper on the topic, “A SpiralModel of Software <strong>Development</strong> and Enhancement,” in Computer 21, no. 5(May 1988), pages 61–72.To see how the director of the Software Engineering Institute viewsthe spiral approach, check out the short and readable introduction athttp://www.dacs.dtic.mil/awareness/newsletteres/technews2-1/disciplined.html.Another good look at the spiral, or iterative, approach can be found athttp://www.stickyminds.com/se/S3420.asp which has a hyperlink fora PDF file of a paper by Philippe Kruchten of Rational Software. The papercovers some pitfalls common to the first uses of the iterative approach; worththe read.A great survey of key papers on three major approaches—spiral and relatedtopics (including newer work by Boehm), aspect-oriented programming (AOP),and the rational unified process—is at http://www.rspa.com/reflib/PrescriptiveModels.html.11.11EXERCISES1. Write requirements for a simple word processor or spreadsheet. Start withsome obvious functionality. Add only enough “bells and whistles” for itto be usable for beginners. Show this list to others, especially people familiarwith similar applications. What features do they find missing that areimportant to them? How quickly does your list expand? What might youdo to limit the size and the rate of growth of the features list?
