Abstract
This paper examines some of the method-related issues for CASE. In particular, it discusses the need to move away from the ‘pencil and paper’ mind-set to a more ‘multi-dimensional’ approach; a modelling framework, both conceptual and for design; and considers related problems of standards, portability and openness. It is intended that this framework can be used for CASE developers to incorporate generic system modelling techniques, rather than build tools for a single proprietary method.
