Team:

During our last Structural Modeling video conference, Kevin Dye raised a number of interesting questions relating to the current form and content of our structuring modeling work. In essence these questions relate to the history of structural modeling and the types of work developed by certain individuals in the past.

I sent out three very early papers related to structural modeling.  Two papers from the early 1960's written by Donald V. Steward and one paper from the early 1970's written by John N. Warfield who referenced Steward's earlier work.  These papers and a few others from this early era may be a good place to start the evaluation of structural modeling matrix techniques.  We will see where the team would like to go in this area.

Attached is our first cut a outlining an Adaptive Total Strict Partial Order (ATSPO) structural modeling approach.  This approach includes much of the work by Warfield with the methods further developed, interfaces better defined and some missing connections filled in, where necessary, to support this specific work.

The plan is to continue to develop this draft as the current web application work continues.  

Please let us know if you have any comments, questions and/or concerns.

Take care, be good to yourself and have fun,

Joe

I have attached an updated document that contains the required Figure.

Take care and have fun,

Team:

Are there any areas associated with the adaptive total strict partial order approach and method that should be emphasized?

My current plan is to finish up the read ahead document for the April meeting by March 21st and send it out for review.

Please let me know if there are areas that need more focus.

I hope to have screen shots from the current web application for the read ahead.

My plan is to demonstrate the software on April 2nd... we will see how things go..

Take care, be good to yourself and have fun,

Joe
