The Economics of Object - Oriented Software
نویسنده
چکیده
In 1994 the author was commissioned by a European telecommunications company to perform an economic analysis of both procedural and object-oriented programming languages used for telecommunications software. It is appropriate to revisit this study in 1997 using several years of additional data. The expansion of object-oriented (OO) programming languages and methodologies has brought with it a need to upgrade software estimating and measurement technologies. A number of measurement and estimating approaches were explored in the context of how well they support object-oriented approaches. The traditional " Lines of Code " or LOC metric appears to be hazardous for object-oriented languages. The Function Point metric provides useful information for OO projects and allows direct comparisons to traditional methods. The specialized metrics being developed explicitly for OO projects provide useful data in an OO context, but do not allow direct comparisons between OO projects and procedural projects.

Declarative Semantics in Object-Oriented Software Development - A Taxonomy and Survey
One of the modern paradigms to develop an application is object oriented analysis and design. In this paradigm, there are several objects and each object plays some specific roles in applications. In an application, we must distinguish between procedural semantics and declarative semantics for their implementation in a specific programming language. For the procedural semantics, we can write a ...
متن کاملObjects Identification in Object-Oriented Software Development - A Taxonomy and Survey on Techniques
Analysis and design of object oriented is onemodern paradigms for developing a system. In this paradigm, there are several objects and each object plays some specific roles. Identifying objects (and classes) is one of the most important steps in the object-oriented paradigm. This paper makes a literature review over techniques to identify objects and then presents six taxonomies for them. The f...

One of the modern paradigms to develop a system is object oriented analysis and design. In this paradigm, there are several objects and each object plays some specific roles. There is a sequence of activities to develop an analysis model. In the first step, we work in developing an initial use case model. Then in the second step, they identify a number of concepts and build a glossary of partic...

Software architecture is one of the most fundamental products in the process of software development in the areas of behavioral or non- behavioral features like availability or transformability change. There are different ways to evaluate software architecture one of which is the creation of application model. An executable model of software architecture is an official description of architectu...

Land use is a factor in the relationship between the man, environment and the creation of a balance between economics, hydrology and, ecology. Also, because of human activities and natural phenomena, the face of the earth has always undergone a change. Therefore, for optimal management of natural areas, awareness of the ratio of land cover/land use changes is a necessity. Therefore, extraction ...
