Preliminary validation of scenario-based design for amorphous systems

Designing amorphous systems is challenging because of the broad scope of the task. The design team must integrate various solution elements, such as hardware, software, service, and infrastructure, while resolving the communication challenges among different domain-experts. Scenario-based Design for Amorphous Systems enables design teams to effectively deal with ambiguity and to communicate their ideas among team members and managers, as well as with customers through a common language. We validated its effectiveness in both academia and industry. This paper describes the process and the preliminary results of the validation based on three approaches: Statistical, voting and interviews.
