Software Reuse Course, Version 2

Objective: The purpose of this course is to explore contemporary topics in systematic software reuse. This includes the impact of Object-Based and Object-Oriented Design and Programming with Ada 83, Ada 95, and C++ along with Domain Engineering on the software development process. The course will concentrate on the practical aspects of applying architecture-centric, domain-specific, library-based reuse methodologies integrated with the software development process to create software systems in an efficient, cost-effective manner. The course will illustrate how object-oriented and domain engineering techniques coupled with domain-specific libraries can be used to effectively develop significant software systems in a short period of time, frequently realizing reuse on the order of 70% or more. Libraries of object-based reusable software components will be used to design and implement solutions to problems.
