Reuse based on Object-Oriented Techniques

Objective

The REBOOT project studies, develops, evaluates, and disseminates advanced methodologies for reuse-driven and object-oriented software development with the emphasis on planned reuse.
Advanced methodologies for reuse driven and object oriented software development with the emphasis on planned reuse have been developed and evaluated. The following problem areas were considered:
methods for identifying suitable reusable information (including reverse engineering approaches);
techniques and tools for creating components and their associated descriptions;
repository for components;
techniques and tools for storing, retrieving and displaying components;
techniques and tools for aiding evaluation and validation of components and their modification;
use of components, including development methods, configuration management and rapid prototyping;
nontechnical aspects.

A characteristic feature of the methodology is its holistic approach. It simultaneously addresses solutions in all the areas mentioned above. Moreover, carefully selected case studies have provided necessary feedback to the tool and method development processes.
REBOOT tackles the following problem areas:

- methods for identifying suitable reusable information (including reverse engineering approaches)
- methodology for developing reusable components (development for reuse)
- techniques and tools for creating components and their associated descriptions (component model)
- repository for components
- techniques and tools for qualifying, classifying, storing, browsing, retrieving, evaluating, displaying, and extracting components
- methodology for reusing components (development with reuse)
- non-technical aspects (organisational, economic, legal, psychological, educational and managerial).

In order to develop successful methodologies, the project simultaneously addresses solutions in all the areas mentioned above. REBOOT starts from state-of-the-art knowledge and has close relationships with other reuse projects or committees, especially in the U.S. Top-down and bottom-up approaches are combined by concurrent work on real-world applications in various domains and theoretical studies. These applications provide feedback that enables the incremental refinement and assessment of the proposed methodology and tools.

REBOOT is also cooperating with NSR, a Norwegian "reuse" consortium, consisting of three software houses that will also evaluate the preliminary REBOOT offer.

Fields of science (EuroSciVoc)

CORDIS classifies projects with EuroSciVoc, a multilingual taxonomy of fields of science, through a semi-automatic process based on NLP techniques. See: The European Science Vocabulary.

Programme(s)

Multi-annual funding programmes that define the EU’s priorities for research and innovation.

Topic(s)

Calls for proposals are divided into topics. A topic defines a specific subject or area for which applicants can submit proposals. The description of a topic comprises its specific scope and the expected impact of the funded project.
