ABSTRACT
Applying the MASTER methodology involves an iterative progression through the steps that constitute the methodology. At each step, the user is required to perform a circumscribed set of activities that invariably involves generating a particular output given particular input information, i.e., elements of the output of previous steps. The user is supported by a number of support facilities and guidelines. Also, facilities are available for documenting the activities that are performed. At each step, the user may choose, or be advised, to return to previous steps to elaborate requisite information or to resolve ambiguities. By progressing through the steps of the methodology, the user systematically builds up a relational database of all the relevant information that bears on the specification of simulator requirements. The resulting database can be used for documenting and communicating (intermediate) results.
