Introducing an object-oriented graphical user-interface-builder

Objetivo

R&HS has a yearly turnover in the maritime market of turn-key electrical systems of about 50 million ECU. This turnover can only be maintained by innovating their products, especially the automation (including monitoring and control) parts, which forms the heart of complete electrical installations.. The automation parts comprise 10 to 20 percent (5 to 20 million ECU) of the complete systems, requiring about 30 man-year programme development on yearly basis. Besides this maritime market, R&HS is active in the field of traffic control systems and factory automation. Also in these markets the same amount of development is required, resulting in a total amount of 60 man-years in software development

THE EXPERIMENT
Within this PIE-project R&HS wants to introduce a graphical user interface builder (GUIB), that should create more sophisticated, flexible, maintainable and reusable software for GUI's, to realise customer demands. The introduction of a GUIB, that is based upon object oriented (O&O) methodologies, will have an important effect on the current software architecture. Furthermore, software engineers of R&HS will have to be trained in using GUIB and O&O methodologies in the current software engineering process. The whole realisation of this introduction of GUIB and Object Oriented Technology (OOT) in the current software process will be the main objective of this ESSI project. Once this GUIB is installed, it will be used in the baseline project UNIMACS 3000, a development project for a totally new concept for controlling all functions on the bridge of large ships.

EXPECTED IMPACT AND EXPERIENCE
The benefit of using GUI-builders within the baseline project is, that the organisation will become familiar with the new design philosophy of object oriented (O&O) software development, which is required to design and build effectively the GUI's. Using this new technology, R&HS will be able to deliver complex and sophisticated integrated automation systems, which can be adapted easily to the clients requirements, will be efficient to build, and easy to maintain. For demonstrating the influence of GUI-builders upon software engineering the demonstrator will also be presented on software-engineering conferences in Europe and during an in-house software symposium of R&HS (at Rotterdam) and the rest of the IMTECH group (containing about 70 sister organisations).
Experiences and results of introducing a sophisticated GUIB in an organisation as R&HS will be used by the suppliers of the GUIB-software, to improve their products. New clients of GUIB's will therefore benefit directly as they can use R&HS' experiences indirectly.
The OOT-Consultant will improve consultancy services and disseminate these PIE experiences to other software developing organisations through workshops, conferences and publications.
