 Janus-I. -2 Requirements

 A revised draft of requirements for the Janus first and second release has been published
 and is currently being reviewed within SO. We intend to give these documents exposure
 outside SD in draft form by November 4th. Current schedule for the programming release
 of the Janus-I requirements revision in 1/78; Janus-2 requirements is 4/78.

 Our objective is to create an explicit statement of requirements in areas previously treated
 vaguely. A further revision of these documents will occur in late November. These revisions
 will include exact information on software/hardware configuration rules and limitations.

 D. Reil1y and V. Engstrom are both working towards additional requirements and design
 definition. D. Reilly is providing detailed font/ROS requirements.    V. Engstrom is
 specifying the interfaces to foreign media.

 Prototypi ng

 Our efforts in user interface prototyping continues. The efforts have been invaluable for
 people to use for evaluating proposals and alternatives. This is especially true where a lot of
 qualitative judgement is needed. C. Irby describes the progress to date in his status report.

 My plan is to give more exposure to these efforts at regular intervals for individuals in
 planning and marketing. I will also request the group to prototype specific models to help
 resolve some of the more global Janus issues (required display resolution, mouse dependency,
 editing key use, etc.). Also, during the first half of next year, additional emphasis will be
 placed in prototyping training models.

 Meetings, Contacts. Plans

 \Ve have established a good working relationship with Messrs. F. Haney, R. Johnson and
 other personnel in planning. They will be given periodic demonstrations of prototyped
 models and encouraged to work with our requirements people.             .

 Contacts and exchanges of information between technical personnel in SO and xes have
 commenced. Presentations on the DO. Mesa, and tools have occurred. Presentations on xes
 software user interfaces and interMals are scheduled. Fred Haney and I have started to
 review objectives for an integrated Janus/lAS environment.

 Contacts with Planning and B. Bebb's organizations started over the last few weeks for the
 purpose defining specific requirements in the Janus/ROS interface.
Progress Report for Ucquirements and Planning; Period 9/15 - 10/20/77                      2


I have. scheduled a meeting of SO/TPO/EOO technical personnel to review alternatives,
costs, and requirements for Janus display requirements. The objective is to gain a consistent
view of requirements for the UTFP and UTPD Janus displays. Any issues which can only
be resolved by prototyping or additional analysis will be scheduled. Ron Johnson will
attend. Hal Lazar concurs with the meeting's objectives and is supportive.

General

I have personally talked to a lot of people outside of SO about the SO'reorganization and
our objectives. People in planning and the TPO have expressed delight. They all feel SO is
logically structured.
