Towards a Modelling Ecosystem for Libraries of Modular, Reusable Components

Towards Reusable NLP Components

We propose a methodology for transforming NLP modules into reusable components that can be integrated it into a distributed and open architecture. We illustrate the methodology by showing the adaptations needed to transform an LTAG parser into a bundle of parsing and lexical services.

Towards Reusable Automation System Components

In this paper we present a domain specific language for describing an automation system, that is, its hardware and software components. These domain components form the basis of large-scale reuse so that specific automation systems can be configured efficiently.

Towards a Platform for Modular, Open, Reusable Textbooks

Textbooks often come as printed, linear, standalone, monolithic resources. However, teachers, more often than not, tend to draw from various sources to prepare their courses and modify or complement existing content. We describe a web platform for textbooks based on features of source-control management systems to enable teachers to tailor a specific textbook to their needs. Teachers can each c...

Towards the Automatic Assessment of Evolvability for Reusable Class Libraries

Many sources agree that managing the evolution of an OO system constitutes a complex and resource-consuming task. This is particularly true for reusable class libraries, as the user interface must be preserved to allow for version compatibility. Thus, the symptomatic detection of potential instabilities during the design phase of such libraries may serve to avoid later problems. This paper pres...
