"A new, comprehensive requirements analysis and management book by author Jeffrey O. Grady was published by Elsevier Publishing (Academic Press imprint) in January 2006. The book encourages that every requirement included in a specification be derived through a model and the results of this modeling work be captured in a configuration manageable document or database and the requirements be coupled to the models through a common requirements analysis sheet implemented in a computer database where three-dimensional traceability may be connected and from which specifications may be printed in paper format if necessary. The book covers all currently applied models for systems, hardware, and software requirements analysis. In addition to current models it will cover models from our development history and suggests future modeling trends that the author believes will entail a common model based on a variation of unified modeling language (UML) that will be used for systems, hardware, and software development. At the dawn of software development everyone was using a single model (flow charts) and shortly we will close upon that condition again with tremendous benefits in hardware-software integration. The book will contain over 450 pages and will be useful as both a textbook and a professional system engineer's desk reference. The author started using this book as the text book for his JOG System Engineering Grand Systems Development Certificate program course Grand Systems Requirements in January 2006 replacing the manuscript that has been used recently."
