Abstract :
An intermediate language (Alfonse: A Language For the New System Engineering) which formally expresses the operations of system engineering has been developed. Alfonse has been implemented in a personal computer environment and used to bridge the gap between human interface aspects of system engineering tools and their operational and data management aspects. This approach greatly increases the possibility of tool interoperability, with the consequential potential for large increases in system engineering productivity
