Problem Frames – brief description

• Fundamental Philosophy– Problem analysis or the Problem Frames approach is an approach to be used when gatherin

g requirements and creating specifications for computer software (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Problem_Frames_Approach)

• Brief Description of HMC project, Stargate.– A xDB converter is to convert Point Of Interest (POI) data to the output format (xDB) which c

an be used in HMC navigation system.

• Considering questions for focusing on the problem– Is all data (POI) available for converting?– Can HMC change the rule?– Is data format flexible?
