Cognitive Structure of Pascal Syntax & "Requires for Good Results"

A computer printout showing a one-page drawing of a structure which has four cycles. Eight or ten short paragraphs on the same page describe how to read the structure. Folded in with the drawing of the structure is a larger drawing of a gigantic flow chart titled: "Requires for Good Results." A caption label on this flow chart says "Generic Requirements Flow for Software Development and Maintenance That is Not Now Being Satisfied.” Likely part of Warfield’s work on his 1986 proposal “ADA Syntax Study and Recommendations: A Proposal to The Software Productivity Consortium, Part I.”



I found these documents in September 2011 in Warfield's old boxes of papers. His inventory caption for these items is Cognitive Structure of Pascal Syntax & "Requires for Good Results", I am going to scan the whole mess and put it into a pdf file on my computer using the exact same caption as title. Dated 2 September 1986 this is a computer printout showing a one-page drawing of a structure which has four cycles. Eight or ten short paragraphs on the same page describe how to read the structure. Folded in with the drawing of the structure is a larger drawing of a gigantic flow chart titled: "Requires for Good Results." A caption label on this flow chart says "Generic Requirements Flow for Software Development and Maintenance That is Not Now Being Satisfied, JNW 8/21/86." Attached to the two drawings by binder clip are eight pages photocopied from a book or manual, pages 140-147. These eight pages contain nothing but a list of elements, which are numbered 1 through 147. I am pretty sure these pages are part of Warfield's work on his 1986 proposal to the Software Productivity Consortium, (ADA Syntax Study and Recommendations: A Proposal to The Software Productivity Consortium, Part I.) one of the documents given to GMU Special Collections which is now in Box 9 Folder 20 at Fenwick Library. Also in Box 43 Folder 10 GMU has a document titled "Inner Cycle of Members in Pascal Syntax," 1986, which is probably also part of the same set of papers.
