Summary
In this paper the notion of prototyping is discussed. The first part of the paper contains a presentation of a framework [1] used in this discussion. A discussion of programming viewed as a social activity is complex and requires an elaborated set of concepts by which we can express our opinions. The framework provides us with a set of such concepts.
In the second part of the paper prototyping is viewed through the spectacles introduced by the framework. This is done partly to express more precisely what is meant by the term PROTOTYPING, and partly to point out some problems that might rise if the prototyping-literature is used as a guideline for programming. Finally some relevant ideas and experiences from the UTOPIA-project are presented.
To sum up, the paper contains:
-
(1)
A presentation of a framework to be used when discussing programming.
-
(2)
A demonstration of the strenght of having a framework when programming is discussed.
-
(3)
A discussion of what is meant by the term prototyping.
-
(4)
A presentation of some problems that might rise if the prototyping-literature is used as a guideline for programming.
-
(5)
A presentation of some ideas and experiences from the UTOPIA-project.
