With the rise of the MDA approach in 2000, only references before the arbitrary cut-off date of 1999 have been selected here. Many translation papers or articles produced after this date have been written within the context of MDA and are listed on the MDA Links page.
It was unfortunate that information on Recursive Design appeared in what seemed like dribs and drabs from various sources. The list below is incomplete but covers most translation related papers published by Project Technology and trade magazines.

Leon Starr was the only author outside Project Technology who published a book on the Shlaer-Mellor method. Project Technology's much anticipated Recursive Design book never materialized.
