Chidambaram is studying BCS503 Software Engineering at IUMW University under lecturer Mr Riyaz. The document discusses Vitech CORE 9, a systems engineering software that allows users to integrate requirements management, identify system functionality through system behavior analysis and simulation, develop and trace system architecture, provide traceability from design to validation plans, and automatically produce documentation from the design repository. CORE 9 introduces state transition diagrams alongside behavioral representations, connects with tools like IBM DOORS, uses embedded diagnostics to verify models, notifies users through a notification center, and allows cross-project relationships for modular modeling between projects.
