Prototyping object systems and reusable object libraries

  • Chapter
Object-oriented Software for Manufacturing Systems

Part of the book series: Intelligent Manufacturing ((IMS))

Abstract

Since object-oriented software systems consist of a collection of interacting objects, a key activity in the design of the system is the one of defining it in terms of those objects. As Power (1987) reports, it is an accepted fact that finding the right objects for the design of a program is not an easy task. In addition, the act of mapping specifications to objects usually does not work the first time around. Some even believe that a class needs to be implemented at least five times before it is acceptable (Thomas, 1989). Designing objects for reuse is a harder task, as these objects may be used in more than one application.
