This collection of papers, resulting from the work of the ADA-Europe working group on software reuse, includes discussion of several kinds of ADA software and guidelines for writing reusable ADA software components.
The book provides a clear understanding of what software reuse is, where the problems are, what benefits to expect, the activities, and its different forms. The reader is also given an overview of what sofware components are, different kinds of components and compositions, a taxonomy thereof, and examples of successful component reuse. An introduction to software engineering and software process models is also provided.
When forming a new product the traditional engineer can take advantage of ready-made subassemblies. To the software engineer, reusable software components offer the same possibilities; the same components can be incorporated into many whole new systems, thus saving the considerable time and effort it can take to generate new software. Starting with an introduction to software reuse and a discussion of its feasibility, the authors go on to consider how the Ada software components that may be found in this book could be used. Ada was designed with reuse very much in mind, and this book contains the complete source code for many software components, making it essentially a small, but invaluable, library. Everyone whose field is software engineering, both novices and experts alike, will find that this book offers a wealth of interesting and practical information.
A categorization of the software development tool features of the Ada Programming Support Environment (APSE) is presented. The features of two Ada environments, the Ada Language System (ALS) and the Ada Integrated Environment (AIE), are compared. The underlying features of the APSE are presented.
