SEPIOR- Practical Experiences with Reusable CAM Components

this report, we describe the considerations and experiences of SEKAS during the Process Improvement Experiment (PIE) SEPIOR [2], which is partly sponsored by the European Systems & Software Initiative ESSI [3]. SEPIOR is an acronym for "Software Engineering Process Improvement through Systematic Application of Object-Oriented Techniques and Reusability". Consequently, the specific goals of the SEPIOR experiment are: 1. Enabling the reuse of pre-fabricated software components by systematically introducing object-oriented technology. This will reduce development time and costs for customer-specific solution

Developing Reusable Software Components

This paper presents some of the experiences gathered in the ESSI Process Improvement Experiment SEPIOR. The goal of SEPIOR is the systematic introduction of object-oriented and componentware development methodologies in the application field of computer-aided manufacturing systems. The paper focuses on the adoption of these technologies in the software company SEKAS. At the example of the development of an alarm management component the commercial, technical, and human impacts are analyzed
