Introduction
The WinWin Spiral Model uses Theory W (win-win)
to develop software and system requirements, and architectural
solutions, as win conditions negotiated among a project's
stakeholders (user, customer, developer, maintainer, interfacer, etc.).
The WinWin negotiation tool is a Unix workstation-based groupware
support system that allows stakeholders to enter win conditions,
explore their interactions, and negotiate mutual agreements on
the specifics of the new project being contracted. The model and
support system also feature a central role for quantitative
tradeoff analysis tools such as COCOMO®.
Research Sponsors
In addition to the on-going support provided by the USC-CSE
Affiliates, the Center is under contract to the Defense Advanced Research Projects
Agency (DARPA), via the Air
Force Research Laboratory (formerly known as Rome
Laboratory), to develop in collaboration with The Aerospace Corporation, a
robust version of the WinWin system and to apply it in the domain
of Satellite Ground Stations (SGSs).
WinWin Downloads
(Software and Documentation)
The USC software implementations of WinWin have been developed
by graduate student programming teams under the leadership of Dr. Ellis Horowitz.
The tool is available for Sun Sparc workstations runnng Unix,
personal computers running Linux, and Java-enabled environments.
The program files download in compressed format and need to be
unzipped with the appropriate utility.
