Reuse Tools to Support ADA Instantiation Construction
Abstract
The purpose of this research project is to investigate the feasibility of developing Reuse Tools to Support ADA Instantiation Construction, building on the experiences of the Common Ada Missile Packages (CAMP) program. The work has been performed by Software Productivity Solutions, Inc., of Melbourne, Florida for the U.S. Army Communications-Electronics Command. While meeting the objectives of this project, we did not strictly adhere to the four tasks outlined in our approach to meet these objectives. Our primary objective was to investigate the feasibility of developing a generalized component construction capability that relieves some of the problems of domain-dependence and part maintenance, building on the concepts and experiences of the CAMP effort. Our secondary objective was to investigate the integration of component construction technology with existing and emerging software development environments. The four tasks were specified as follows: (1) analyze the CAMP methodology, (2) define the requirements for a generalized constructor capability, (3) investigate development environment integration, and (4) demonstrate the feasibility of the generalized constructor capability. Towards the end of Task 1, we began to investigate alternative generalized constructor approaches, in effect opening a Pandora's box. (kr)
