Studies and Analyses within Project Correlation: An In-Depth Assessment of Correlation Problems and Solution Techniques

This chapter describes a study effort, “Project CORRELATION, " which involved stepping back from the many application-specific and system-specific solutions and the extensively described theoretical approaches to conduct an assessment and develop guidelines for moving from “problem space” to “solution space.” In other words, the project’s purpose was to gain some understanding of the engineering design approaches for solution development and assess the scaleability and reusability of solution methods according to the nature of the problem.
