Thefirst experiment tested the effect of varied beam depth (Figure 2a); these beams had commonwidths and lengths. The second experiment tested the effect of varied beam width (Figure 2b);these beams had common depths and lengths. For each beam, increasing weights weresuccessively hung from the free end. A dial gage was positioned (using a magnetic mounts) tomeasure the deflection of the free end. Because the gage itself exerts a force on the end of thebeam, for each specified applied weight, the effect of the gage was eliminated by manuallylifting

MDA fosters an open, vendor neutral, approach to software system middlewaredevelopment. The OMG has recently proposed a relatively new paradigm shift in regardsto distributed software system development.

A team of six consultants provided the authorsgreater access to national expertise on engineering design and assessment. The consultant teamserved as a focus group for identifying current research findings and for reviewing developmentof a conceptual model for design, among other responsibilities in the project.As a first step, the authors used research literature and personal experience to draft a conceptual
