The earliest example of equine footwear we have is made of animal hide and dates from about 600 B.C. This primitive hoof protector looks more like a horse bootie than what we think of today as a horseshoe. It was probably stuffed with dried grass or other available natural material and tied on with hide thongs.
The spiral model is a software development process combining elements of both design and prototyping-in-stages, in an effort to combine advantages of top-down and bottom-up concepts. The spiral model was defined by Barry Boehm in his article A Spiral Model of Software Development and Enhancement from 1985. This model was not the first model to discuss iterative development, but it was the first model to explain why the iteration matters.
Ultimately, it was the work of researchers around the world from dozens of organizations that created the Internet. âAfter our initial paper was published, detailed design was conducted at Stanford during 1974 and implementation started in 1975 at Stanford, BBN and University College London.
