Issues in Expanding the Software Base Management System Supporting the ComputerAided Prototyping System

摘要

This thesis proposes reorganizing the Software Base Management System of theComputer Aided Prototyping System (CAPS) to take better advantage of object-oriented database technology, domain analysis and rule based systems. A method for using the Prototyping System Description Language (PSDL) augmented with domain dependent keywords to classify reusable Ada components and organize them in an object-oriented database is presented. A rule based structure needed to implement this software base is also described. Implementation of this structure is a goal for further research. Keywords: Rapid prototyping; Models; Programming languages; Domain analysis; Object-oriented database; Software reuse. (kr)
