Abstract
Development of a large information system, following the Information Engineering approach by James Martin, is described. Knowledge-Ware's Application Development Workbench (ADW) was used as I-CASE (Integrated CASE) environment. The 3 1/2-person-year project went all the way from analysis to code generation. Within the project, 160, 000 lines of code were successfully generated; the final system is expected to amount to 330, 000 lines. The information system is probably one of the first ones of such size that was actually generated with ADW for an OS/2 target environment. The paper gives an outline of the project and reports on experiences with I-CASE technology. The project was part of advanced business-informatics education at Muenster university.
