MSE: A Methodology for Software Evolution
نویسنده
چکیده
Every program must continuously evolve, or it will become obsolete. This paper explores a methodology for software evolution within the setting of object-orientated programming. The methodology is based on the top–down propagation of change, and it is remotely related to stepwise refinement. To present the methodology, this paper uses one small example (Gregorian calendar) and one medium-sized example (calendar maintainer). This paper also explores an algorithm for scheduling object classes for update, and introduces a tool, ‘Ripples’, which helps programmers work with the process of software evolution. 1997 by John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

In this article, Imam Khomeini’s political theory is investigated with the Lakatos methodology. His methodology confirms the distinction between a hard core or the original skeleton of investments and experimental propositions confirms as a protective belt for the research program. Regarding this, the claim from this article is that if we understand the system of religious knowledge of Imam Kho...
متن کاملIntegrated Methodology for Multiple Systems Estimation and Record Linkage Using a Missing Data Formulation
There are now three essentially separate literatures on the topics of multiple systems estimation, record linkage, and missing data. But in practice the three are intimately intertwined. For example, record linkage involving multiple data sources for human populations is often carried out with expressed goal of developing a merged database for multiple system estimation (MSE). Similarly, one wa...
