XM Conceptual Design
Conceptual design is articulated. This takes place in the form of a Systems Engineering Breakdown Diagrams - which outlines all the components of a given GVCS technology and how they relate to one another. For each component, the Breakdown Diagram should also include possible implementation paths - focusing on those paths that build on existing open source projects, on available documentation, and on other available prior art. The work of OSE is founded on determining a specific implementation path from the above options - determined by best fit to OSE Specifications - from which a prototype implementation path is determined. Successive prototypes may choose different implementation paths - depending on prototype testing results. Read Refactored OSE Specifications Pursuant to OSE Specifications, calculate power requirements Define size/scale/performance of the machine Motivate your design for low cost Motivate your design for performance Motivate your design for accuracy requirements Motivate your design for ease of fabrication Define components of a technology Define relationships between components Research open source prior art available for the design Publish open source prior art available for the design Define the relevance/adaptations required for the open source prior art to fit OSE Specifications Develop the required adaptations of OS prior art and implement that in the design at hand Specify other options available for implementation Specify a specific instance suitable for prototyping Draw an editable diagram of the specific instance Populate a Task Management Platform with the above components that need to be developed Recruit developers to execute and add tasks to the basic platform. Promote active developers of the project to Project Leader Status. In conjunction with the GVCS Project Curator, this is the leading stakeholder in the project who has a direct interest in developing or using the technology; main overseer of physical project development and fabrication, and works with GVCS Project Curator on quality control for adherence to OSE Specifications
