I currently work for NCR in San Diego. We are currently looking
into altering our Standard Development Process in order to incorporate the
use of Prototyping during the development of new products. We are especially
interested in an iterative development cycle where staged prototypes are
presented to customer groups for evaluation, and feedback from these groups
are then incorporated into the next stage of the prototype.

Any information concerning methodologies being used elsewhere in the world
would be greatly appreciated. We are interested in any rapid prototyping
environments currently in use. Environments that encourage the evolution of
prototypes into the final product are also of interest to us. We would like
to also to hear about any literature on the subject that others have found
particularly useful.

If you have any information for us, or would like to start a dialogue on
the subject, please send e-mail to me (see signature file). If I get a
good response, I would be glad to post my findings.
