| Abstract | Specifications provide the fundamental link to make the transition between the concept and definition phases of the system development cycle. Straightforward, unambiguous specifications are required to ensure successful results and at the same time minimize cost overruns during the development cycle. Many of the problems currently being addressed by software engineers have their origins in the frequently inconsistent and incomplete nature of system specifications. The U.S. Army Ballistic Missile Defense Advanced Technology Center (BMDATC) is currently studying several advanced software development technologies. BMDATC's efforts are directed toward identifying and resolving the fundamental problems that plague the software community: excessive costs, unrealistic or inappropriate schedules, and inadequate performance. A primary category of the BMDATC program is Data Processing System Engineering Research. This research employs an advanced engineering approach to the generation, verification, and unambiguous communication of a complete and consistent set of system requirements. The key elements of this technology are: (1) a mathematically rigorous decomposition technology that effectively translates system requirements into a traceable graphic representation; (2) a usable System Specification Language (SSL) that supports simulation and specification generation; (3) a set of software tools that aid in the development, verification, and configuration control of the decomposed requirements; and (4) a management approach that supports the designed-in quality of the developed specification. Definitive specifications are of primordial importance to the development process in that they are both the springboard for the design process and the yardstick of the test procedures. This paper describes the importance of verifying systems specifications before commencing any software design and delineates a technique for accomplishing this objective. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
