National Technical Reports Library

The National Technical Information Service acquires, indexes, abstracts, and archives the largest collection of U.S. government-sponsored technical reports in existence. The NTRL offers online, free and open access to these authenticated government technical reports. Technical reports and documents in its repository may be available online for free either from the issuing federal agency, the U.S. Government Publishing Office’s Federal Digital System website, or through search engines.

Software technology for composition-based simulation construction: A roadmap.

DE2000763344

Publication Date	2000
Personal Author	Anderson, J. W.; Michelsen, R. E.; Holland, J. V.
Page Count	27
Abstract	The reuse of software has been an eagerly sought yet elusive goal of software developers for decades. Many promising technical approaches have been pursued, but none have yielded the full potential. Recent advances in software technology R&D have led to substantial progress in the pursuit of software reusability. One of the more promising avenues of work is compositionbased (component-based) software construction. This paper explores the compositional approach to the construction of software in general and presents a 'technology roadmap' for software composition. This roadmap depicts the interdependencies and state of the technologies necessaiy to fully realize software composition.
