Developing Object-Oriented Frameworks Based on Reference Models

Developing Object-Oriented Frameworks Using Domain Models

In this paper we present an integrated approach to model the domain knowledge related to a framework and to map the identified domain models into objectoriented concepts. We applied this approach to three pilot projects. We discuss the problems we encountered in mapping domain models into object-oriented frameworks. Our experience indicates that deriving a framework from the related domain know...

Evolving Frameworks: A Pattern Language for Developing Object-Oriented Frameworks

Frameworks are reusable designs of all or part of a software system described by a set of abstract classes and the way instances of those classes collaborate. A good framework can reduce the cost of developing an application by an order of magnitude because it lets you reuse both design and code. They do not require new technology, because they can be implemented with existing object-oriented p...

Testability Models for Object-Oriented Frameworks

Frameworks are time-tested highly reusable architectural skeleton structures. They are designed ‘abstract’ and ‘incomplete’ and are designed with predefined points of variability, known as hot spots, to be customized later at the time of framework reuse. Frameworks are reusable entities thus demand stricter and rigorous testing in comparison to onetime use application. The overall cost of frame...

Developing Object-Oriented Frameworks For Computer Animation By

This thesis was driven by an interest in developing a reusable framework for building behavioral animations. The initial goal was to facilitate and automate the construction of a core behavioral animation application that could then be extended with exquisite services to investigate concepts in specific research areas. We wanted to develop a framework that would instantiate an executable behavi...
