SoD: Value-Based Science of Design

摘要0438931 Barry W. BoehmU of Southern California题目：基于价值的设计科学该基金的研究目标是为软件密集型系统的基于价值的设计科学奠定基础。 它基于PI的利益相关者双赢W理论，该理论强调“价值”不仅包括货币因素，还包括任何能够强烈激励或抑制项目或组织成功关键利益相关者的非货币因素。研究的第一阶段将使用价值考虑因素来解析和更好地理解设计空间。 它将集中在两个领域，基于COTS的设计和设计，以实现质量属性。 第一阶段还将考虑其他领域，如转换设计，模块化和敏捷设计，以及成本/进度约束设计。第二阶段将通过实验应用，评估，并在两个领域迭代基于价值的设计能力-基于COTS的设计和实现质量属性的设计-第三阶段将基于第二阶段的结果开发工作抽象和可组合性关系。 这些抽象将包括基于价值的软件设计的可组合过程模式，并在重点领域进行可组合性测试。研究成果将包括一个经过测试的框架，其中包括更好地执行基于价值的软件设计的原则、过程、方法和工具。

ABSTRACT0438931Barry W. BoehmU of Southern CaliforniaTitle: Value-Based Science of DesignThe grant's research objectives are to develop the foundations for a science of value-based design of software-intensive systems. It is based on the PI's stakeholder win-win Theory W, which emphasizes that "value" includes not only monetary factors, but also any non-monetary factors that strongly motivate or demotivate a project or organization's success-critical stakeholders.Phase I of the research will use value considerations to parse and better understand the design space. It will focus on two areas, COTS-based design and design to achieve quality attributes. Phase I will also consider other areas such as transformational design, modular and agile design, and cost/schedule constrained design.Phase II will test the hypotheses formulated in Phase I by experimentally applying, evaluating, and iterating value-based design capabilities in two areas -- COTS-based design and design to achieve quality attributes -- using both small and large project testbeds.Phase III will develop working abstractions and composability relations based on Phase II results. The abstractions will include composable process patterns for value-based software design, tested for composability across the focus areas.Research benefits will include a tested framework with principles, processes, methods, and tools for better performing value-based software design.
