This column shows how to develop a fully refined use-case model. I hope some of the ideas about traceability and packaging are picked up by tool vendors (e.g., Rational, CA). The main concepts of this ...

Specifying and validating embedded systems and chips becomes increasingly challenging as feature sets and non-functional constraints grow. It's especially difficult when the system involves a ...

In Software Modeling Goes Mainstream, Ed Sperling recently wrote how chipmakers are applying use case modeling techniques to better understand the interactions between software and hardware and how ...

The business case for AI is realized when the application is scaled. Use this checklist to ensure the transition from a ...

What if you had an AI assistant that could not only analyze complex datasets but also write compelling narratives, solve intricate problems, and adapt to real-world scenarios—all with minimal input ...

Foundation models—AI systems trained on expansive datasets that can perform a wide range of tasks—and large language models—a subset of foundation models capable of processing and generating humanlike ...
