A Reuse Infrastructure Based on Domain Models

Reuse is a key component in the software development process, specifically when it is applied in the early phases of the process. One of the most encouraging reuse techniques available is the component-based software development. Based on this assumption, this work presents a reuse infrastructure to help the component-based development of applications in a given domain, named RIDOM. Object-oriented frameworks, software architectures, artificial intelligence techniques, domain analysis and OODBMS are technologies that RIDOM 1 uses to make component-based reuse feasible in a specific domain, as discussed in this paper. Key Words: Reuse Infrastructure, Component-based development, Domain Analysis, Object-Orientation, Software Architecture, Frameworks, Patterns, OODBMS. 1. Introduction Reuse seems to be a promising way to help improving software development. One of the most encouraging reuse techniques available is the component-based software development. The component-based software ..
