The purpose of this note is to outline an approach to software specification and documentation which the author uses for both system and program design. It is not proposed that the ensuing technique be applied in all circumstances; alternative presentations such as flowcharts may be more suitable for particular problems.
Received March 1979.
* This technique was originally developed when the author was with the OR Unit of ICL Dataskil, Reading, England.
