ABSTRACT
Rapid Prototyping is a software development methodology which can reduce development cost by aiding the requirements definition, design, and coding of a software system. PDS is an integrated programming environment which can support rapid prototyping. and it was used by the authors to build a prototype of a relational database system. Observations on both rapid prototyping and PDS are given, and a requirements specification language is proposed as a natural extension to PDS.
