Abstract:

CASTS is a software system for use as a tool in the development of interactive data entry systems. It is composed of two major processes 1 System Specification Process I and 2 System Simulation Process II. The significant advantage of using CASTS is the capability for the system designer to return to the model construction phase of design to change specifications as often as necessary without major re-entry of the same information. Iterative refinements allow testing and modification of specifications without investing considerable coding effort in the initial system design process. In addition, the system designer utilizes an interactive tool which can provide valuable experience in designing other interactive systems.
