The purpose of a technology description is to uniquely identify the
technology, to characterize
the technology in terms of the properties of systems and measures of
software quality that it
affects, and to point out tradeoffs, benefits, risks and limitations that may
arise in various situations of use. Each technology description also
provides reference(s) to literature, indications
of the current maturity of the technology, and cross references to related
technologies.
Technology descriptions
are not meant to be comprehensive--each description
provides the
reader with enough knowledge to decide whether to investigate the technology
further, to find
out where to go for more information, and to know what questions to ask in
gathering more
information.
Typically, technology descriptions range in size from four to six pages,
depending on the amount of information available or the maturity of
the technology.
Each technology description has a common format and includes
these major sections:
