Download or read book An Approach for Constructing Reusable Software Components in Ada written by and published by . This book was released on 1990 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper discusses the topic of software reuse and is aimed at the software engineer who may actually be designing reusable software. The paper concentrates on many of the technical problems encountered when constructing reusable software components today. This paper does not, however, focus on the general problem of reusable software design. Instead, it focuses on the Ada programming language, and the problems software engineers may encounter when designing components in this language. This paper is intended to be a companion to IDA Paper P-2494, Strategy and Mechanisms for Encouraging Reuse in the Acquisition of SDI Software. P-2494 discusses the managerial and legal issues involved with software reuse.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Observers in the present usually have an advantage when it comes to interpreting events of the past. In the case of software reuse, how ever, it is unclear why an idea that has gained such universal accep tance was the source of swirling controversy when it began to be taken seriously by the software engineering community in the mid-1980's. From a purely conceptual point of view, the reuse of software de signs and components promises nearly risk-free benefits to the devel oper. Virtually every model of software cost and development effort predicts first-order dependencies on either products size or the num ber of steps carried out in development. Reduce the amount of new product to be developed and the cost of producing the product de creases. Remove development steps, and total effort is reduced. By reusing previously developed engineering products the amount of new product and the number of development steps can be reduced. In this way, reuse clearly has a major influence on reducing total development cost and effort. This, of course, raises the issue of from whence the reused products arise. There has to be a prior investment in creating "libraries of reuse products before reuse can be successfuL . . " How can organizations with a "bottom line" orientation be enticed into contributing to a reuse venture? Fortunately, the economics of reuse l resembles many other financial investment situations .

Download or read book Toward Reusable Graphics Components in Ada written by Sam-Kyu Lim and published by . This book was released on 1993 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis demonstrates and illustrates a way of developing reusable graphics software components in Ada associated with a C++/C library. The work was carried out using object-oriented software development techniques that were used to analyze, design and implement a partial flight simulator. The objective of this thesis was to present a way of building reusable software components with Ada in a graphics application environment. An object-oriented approach was taken in the development of a set of reusable graphics software components for a flight simulator domain. A selection of a set of reusable software components came from domain analysis. These components were analyzed in detail, then redesigned to demonstrate and illustrate the thesis objective. Examples from design and implementation demonstrate how Ada 83 was applied in building reusable graphics software components associated with C++ routines, the limitations of Ada 83, and how Ada9X addresses these limitations.

Download or read book Analysis and Guidelines for Reusable Ada Software written by and published by . This book was released on 1992 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: SDIO is developing the Global Protection Against Limited Strikes (GPALS) system. Much of the software is to be developed in Ada, and reuse will be considered in the software design and implementation phases. This document provides an analysis and candidate guidelines for developing reusable Ada software to supplement existing SDIO guidelines. The guidelines in this document are based on previous IDA work, IDA Paper P-2378, An Approach for Constructing Reusable Components in Ada by Stephen Edwards. In addition, two other sources were examined: GPALS Software Standards by GE Aerospace, and Ada Quality and Style: Guidelines for Professional Programmers by the Software Productivity Consortium. The analysis shows that many of Edwards's guidelines are already included in Ada Quality and Style and thus will already be used by SDIO. Some of the guidelines require further research before inclusion in a candidate set of guidelines. The remaining guidelines are presented as candidate guidelines in a form similar to that of Ada Quality and Style. This document presents the candidate guidelines in a form which could be readily added to existing Ada development guidelines.

Download or read book Reusable Ada Components Sourcebook written by Tony Orme and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1992-04-30 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When forming a new product the traditional engineer can take advantage of ready-made subassemblies. To the software engineer, reusable software components offer the same possibilities; the same components can be incorporated into many whole new systems, thus saving the considerable time and effort it can take to generate new software. Starting with an introduction to software reuse and a discussion of its feasibility, the authors go on to consider how the Ada software components that may be found in this book could be used. Ada was designed with reuse very much in mind, and this book contains the complete source code for many software components, making it essentially a small, but invaluable, library. Everyone whose field is software engineering, both novices and experts alike, will find that this book offers a wealth of interesting and practical information.

Download or read book OOIS 94 written by Dilip Patel and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 516 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume contains the papers presented at the Intemational Conference on Object Oriented Information Systems 00lS'94, held at South Bank University, London, December 19 - 21, 1994. In response to our call for papers, a total 85 papers from 24 different countries were submitted. Each paper was evaluated by at least two Program Committee members and an additional reviewer. Together, we selected 41 papers for presentation at the conference and inclusion in the Proceedings. Also included are the keynote addresses by Peter Gray and Michael Jackson. The other submissions were recommended for presentation in the poster sessions. Peter Gray, our invited speaker, evaluates the problems of object-oriented systems and data independence by looking at how object oriented database applications are failing to perceive its benefits, and instead rely too much on encapsulation. He suggests alternative kinds of object storage to preserve data independence. The second invited speaker, Michael Jackson describes a way of solving problems, by focusing directly on the problems themselves, their components and structures and on the relationships between the problem and the solution method. He discusses a particular view of the role of object-orientation in software development.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In November 1989 we organised a workshop on software re-use, inviting members of the leading research teams across Europe. In retrospect, we realise that we missed a few research teams out, but nevertheless we did have a very fruitful workshop. This book is the outcome of that meeting. Prior to the workshop, teams submitted short position papers, and at the workshop made very short presentations of these. Most of the time was spent in four parallel sessions, and the reports of these sessions are given in Chapter 2. After the workshop we invited the attendees to revise and resubmit their papers in the light of the workshop, and it is these updated papers that appear in Chapter 4 onwards. The papers are in alphabetical order of first author. To complete this text we have added an introduction to software re-use as a first chapter-this was prepared by Liesbeth Dusink. We have added a comprehensive bibliography as Chapter 3, merging the bibliographies accumulated at Delft and at Brunei. To be able to organise the workshop we were sponsored by SERC, the Software Engineering Research Centre in Utrecht, Netherlands.

Download or read book Integrated Software Reuse written by Paul Walton and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-01-15 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Published in 1993. Software reuse has been shown to achieve improvements in productivity, quality and timeliness of software. The collection of papers in this book were given at a seminar organized by UNICOM and the British Computer Society Software Reuse Specialist Group. They address the reasons why software reuse can maximize an organization's return from past expenditure and ensure a good future expenditure. Increasing the automation of software development requires access to explicit knowledge about processes and products involved. The chapters examine the relationship between reuse and other aspects of software engineering, including management techniques and structures, CASE, methodologies and object orientation. In addition, the papers aim to provide a structures insight into new techniques which will become available through the 1990s. This text is suitable for software managers and directors, software engineers, software professionals, academics, and other involved in software engineering research.
