Deliverable 1: List of IEKS Domain Assumptions, Exceptions, and Variations

Your group's deliverable should be sent to the course account.

Deliverable 1 is a complete list of IEKS assumptions, exceptions, and variations compiled from the IEKS Vision Document.

An assumption is anything that must be true about the real world in order for the operations described in the IEKS Vision Document to work as described. For now, write down all the assumptions that you can find,

whether they are explicit in the vision document or in the referenced manual, or not (i.e., are implicit)
whether they are true of the real world, or not.

(Later, i.e., not in this deliverable, you will decide what the IEKS software does about each assumption, A:

IEKS

does nothing because A is true of the real world,
if A is not true of the real world, IEKS acts as if A is true, or
if A is not true of the real world, IEKS provides functionality that eliminates the need for A.

I am saying this so that you understand better what an assumption is.)

An exception is any condition that may cause a described operation in the IEKS Vision Document not to work as described. These may overlap with assumptions. If so, just say so in each case, i.e., that an assumption is also an exception.

A variation is any way that an operation might need to be done that differs from that described for it in the IEKS Vision Document.

Please make one numbered sublist for assumptions, one numbered sublist for exceptions, and one numbered sublist for variations. If an item is in more than one sublist, you can have all but the first refer to the first by its index in its sublist.

You may include in this deliverable also a list of any questions that you have about the IEKS Vision Document. These should be clearly marked as questions.

Each group will prepare its deliverable in a .txt file, one item per line, however you define "item". Please do not turn in anything but a .txt file, because we want to form a single file with all of the deliverables, and doing so will be impossible if they are in different formats.

You will need to submit only an electronic copy of this deliverable:

The electronic copy should be emailed to the course account with the subject "CS445 Deliverable 1 Group XX" where XX is your group number, with a leading zero if it's less than 10. The file name for the same deliverable should be "D1-GXX.txt" where XX is your group number as before. PLEASE use this subject line and file name; otherwise it is difficult for us to organize all of the submissions. Deliverable 1 must be in TXT format.
