But is the code (re)usable?

Modelling the Checkability of Reusable Code

An important aspect of reusing code is making sure it is used correctly. The easier it is to do this, the easier it is reuse the code with conndence. However techniques developed to do such checking, such as type systems, are not universally accepted because they are regarded as being too diicult to use or too restrictive. We believe a better understanding of \checkability" is important, and we...

Really Reusable Robot Code and the Player/Stage Project

On device abstractions for portable, reusable robot code

We seek to make robot programming more efficient by developing a standard abstract interface for robot hardware, based on familiar techniques from operating systems and network engineering. This paper describes the application of three well known abstractions, the character device model, the interface/driver model, and the client/server model to this purpose. These abstractions underlie Player/...

he is one and there is naught but he (isfahani hatif on the summit of tarjiband)
