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 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 The Impact of Case Tools ADA and Software Reuse on a DOD Software Development Project written by Loren J. Dugan and published by . This book was released on 1996-03-01 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Software continues to be the single greatest challenge facing DoD systems developers. The criticality of software as a integral component of system design, continues to grow in importance as DoD moves into the 21st Century. To meet this ever increasing challenge, software development organizations are incorporating new design requirements and practices into their development processes. These new requirements/practices, properly implemented into the development process, can reduce software development and maintenance costs and increase software quality and development productivity. This thesis investigates the impact of three management-selected software development requirements/practices--CASE tools, Ada, and software reuse--on the progress of a particular DoD software development project, known as Project X. After a brief introduction the thesis presents background literature on the three development requirements of Project X. The background literature is used to support the Project X case study. Information required for the case study is obtained through interviews with Project X affiliated development personnel. Interview results are analyzed and interpreted through a comparison with information found in the background literature. Results of the case study identify several problems with management's plan to implement the three development requirements into Project X. The thesis identifies specific root causes for the implementation problems, and makes recommendations to reduce the impact of these problems on Project X and other present and future DoD software development projects.

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.
Download or read book Analysis of the Impact of the Ada Runtime Environment on Software Reuse written by and published by . This book was released on 1989 with total page 23 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The number of applications using the Ada language is increasing rapidly with the availability of over 200 base and derived validated compilers. Reports indicate that many of these applications have been successfully developed from reusable software parts or have been developed to yield reusable software parts. In contrast of these reports, other applications have identified deficiencies in the Ada RunTime Environment (RTE) that have necessitated restricted use of the Ada with a consequent impact on the potential reuse of Ada software. Therefore, improving the reuse of software in these applications depends to some extent upon careful analysis and understanding of the issues related to software reuse and the Ada RTE. The latter applications typically comprise embedded Mission Critical Computer Resource (MCCR) systems that must satisfy real-time performance constraints that are usually dependent upon specialized hardware. These constraints have caused the intrusion of non-Ada code into the applications and the exploitation of specific idiosyncrasies of the RTE that are within the semantic fringes of the Ada standard DoD83. While reducing the use of non-Ada code may not be feasible for applications that must interact with special controls, devices, and weapon systems, ameliorating the deleterious effects of deficiencies and idiomatic behavior of the RTE on the reuse of Ada parts must receive prompt attention.

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.
Download or read book Software Reuse in Real Time Environments written by and published by . This book was released on 1989 with total page 45 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report examines the roles of several factors affecting the potential reuse of Ada software for realtime applications. More specifically, it examines the roles of the Ada language and common package interfaces. The Ada language is evaluated with regard to how well it meets several requirements for supporting reuse, and how it could be revised to support reuse better. The concept of common bridge package interfaces is introduced as a technique for enabling more software to be reused. Three specific common package interfaces are examined in detail. These are: the MRTSI; the POSIX Ada binding (1003.5); the POSIX realtime extension (1003.4). These interfaces are considered with respect to their individual potential for promoting software reuse, their interactions, and their potential for supporting and complementing Ada for realtime applications.
