Abstract

As software technologies advance, the software community uses the newest and most powerful technology and associated notations. However, mapping software with a set of notations that would survive the test of time is becoming increasingly difficult. A survey of current methodologies indicates that half‐lives of various software notations are short. The dependence of software notations on programming languages and environment specific methodologies often makes these notations obsolete. In this paper, development of a standard set of software notations that is independent of programming paradigms, yet extensible enough to accommodate programming needs, is proposed.
