Net-Oriented Analysis and Design (NOAD) is defined as three items: (1) Various nets are utilized as an effective modeling method. (2) Inter-relationships among verious nets are determined. (3) Verification or analysis methods for nets are provided and they are implemented based on the mathematical theory, that is Net theory. Very few methods have been presented to satisfy these three items. For example, the Real-Time SA method covers item (1) only. The Object-Oriented Analysis and Design method (OOA/OOD) covers items (1) and (2). NOAD can be regarded as an extension to OOA/OOD. This paper discusses how effectively various nets have been used in actual software development support metnods and tools and evaluates such several methods and tools from the NOAD viewpoint.
