Object-Oriented Frameworks provide software developers with the means to build infrastructure for their applications. Unfortunately, frameworks do not always deliver on their promises of reusability and flexibility. To address this, we have developed a conceptual model for frameworks and a set of guidelines to build object oriented frameworks that adhere to this model. Our guidelines focus on i...

We aim at improving sharability and reusability of software for autonomous mobile robots without sacrificing real-time capabilities. As a first step towards this goal, we focus on real-time Linux and we introduce the concept of a robotic hardware abstraction layer that provides for software reusability on different types of hardware and in real-time or non real-time context. We also present a p...

Model Driven Architecture (MDA) design approach proposes to separate design into two stages: implementation independent stage then an implementation-dependent one. This improves the reusability, the reusability, the standability, the maintainability, etc. Here we show how MDA can be augmented using a formal refinement approach: B method. Doing so enables to gradually refine the development from...

Component-Based Systems (CBS) have now become more generalized approach for application development. The main advantages of CBS are reduced development time, cost and efforts along with several others. These advantages are mainly contributed by the reuse of already built-in software components. In order to realize the reuse of components effectively in CBS, it is required to measure the reusabi...

Cloud based development is a challenging task for several software engineering projects, especially for those which need change along with reusability. The present scenario of cloud computing is allowing new professional models to use agile software development. The expected upcoming trend of computing is assumed to be cloud computing as it ensures a lot of payback like no principal outflow, sp...

The development of groupware is a complex endeavor due to several inherent features not present in single-user applications. To address this complexity many authors have presented useful platforms that permit the reutilization of code to facilitate the implementation of groupware applications. However, design reusability could be of greater value than code reusability and facilitate the use and...

Recently routing and wavelength assignment (RWA) problem in wavelength-routed optical networks (WRON's) has been studied extensively. Different optimum criterions are proposed to evaluate the performance of designed networks, such as carried traffic [1], wavelength requirement [2,3], fiber requirement [4], and OXC system scale [5]. Because wavelength is a very limited network resource, most of ...

Objects needs verification through statistical model in software development process which are important in software industries now a day. Software development process consist of several steps right from analysis to deployment and maintenance, therefore statistical model would certainly analyses object(s) and its various qualities and its relationship during software development process. Earlie...

This paper describes the state of the art of coding schemes for dialogue acts and the efforts to establish a standard in this field. We present a review and comparison of currently available schemes and outline the comparison problems we had due to domain , task, and language dependencies of schemes. We discuss solution strategies which have in mind the reusability of corpora. Reusability is a ...
