Abstract

One of the most challenging problems that the software community currently faces is the changing environment in which software is to be developed. Almost every decade brings a new programming environment that forces software engineers to rewrite their systems to take into account new developments. The software industry faces other considerable challenges as it tries to build larger, more complex software systems with fewer resources. Although modern programming languages such as C++ and Java have in general improved the software development process, they have failed to significantly increase developer’s productivity [88]. On the other hand, the complexity of the systems to be developed is constantly increasing; customers expect more complex and sophisticated systems that often exceed the abilities of the software industry to develop them.
