Conceptual reuse through design patterns and generative programming allows reuse of ideas rather than just code.
This document discusses software reuse and the benefits and challenges of different approaches. It begins by defining software reuse and explaining its benefits like increased dependability and accelerated development. It describes different levels of reuse from whole applications to objects and functions. Challenges are also outlined such as increased maintenance costs. Commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) product reuse is specifically examined, noting how products can be configured but also issues in requirements adaptation and vendor control.
This document discusses an approach to assembling software products using a product line approach. It presents a separation continuum that separates concerns both vertically (from abstract to implementation layers) and horizontally (between human-facing and machine-facing aspects). An application assembly approach is then discussed where a product line architecture is tied to this separation continuum, allowing high productivity by reusing pre-built software assets to realize new product lines. The approach aims to facilitate experimentation in building large-scale application assembly capabilities.
The document is a term paper on efficient performance models in component-based software engineering. It discusses component-based software engineering as a development model that allows developers to rapidly assemble systems from pre-existing commercial off-the-shelf components. It describes what components are, component models, advantages and disadvantages of the approach, and concludes that component-based engineering provides an easy way to develop software but relies on well-defined component standards.
A FRAMEWORK STUDIO FOR COMPONENT REUSABILITYcscpconf
The deployment of a software product requires considerable amount of time and effort. In order
to increase the productivity of the software products, reusability strategies were proposed in the
literature. However effective reuse is still a challenging issue. This paper presents a framework
studio for effective components reusability which provides the selection of components from framework studio and generation of source code based on stakeholders needs. The framework studio is implemented using swings which are integrated onto the Net Beans IDE which help in faster generation of the source code.
This document discusses software reuse and its benefits and challenges. It describes different levels of reuse from whole application systems and components to objects and functions. Reusing software can increase dependability, reduce costs and risks, allow specialists to develop reusable assets, and accelerate development. However, reuse also poses challenges such as increased maintenance costs, lack of tool support, and difficulties finding, understanding and adapting reusable components.
This document discusses different software processes and activities. It covers incremental development, which delivers software in increments and allows for early customer feedback. Reuse-oriented engineering focuses on integrating existing components. Key process activities include specification, design/implementation, validation, and evolution. Specification involves requirements analysis. Design translates requirements into a structure, while implementation creates an executable program. Validation verifies the system meets requirements through testing. Evolution allows software to change with changing needs.

FRAMEWORKS BETWEEN COMPONENTS AND OBJECTSacijjournal
Before the emergence of Component-Based Frameworks, similar issues have been addressed by other
software development paradigms including e.g. Object-Oriented Programming (OOP), ComponentBased Development (CBD), and Object-Oriented Framework. In this study, these approaches especially
object-oriented Frameworks are compared to Component-Based Frameworks and their relationship are
discussed. Different software reuse methods impacts on architectural patterns and support for
application extensions and versioning. It is concluded that many of the mechanisms provided by
Component-Based Framework can be enabled by software elements at the lower level. The main
contribution of Component-Based Framework is the focus on Component development. All of them can be
built on each other in layered manner by adopting suitable design patterns. Still some things such as
which method to develop and upgrade existing application to other approach.
The document discusses product line architecture and the separation of concerns. It introduces the concept of a separation continuum, which separates architectural elements based on their use and applicability both vertically and horizontally. Vertically, elements are separated based on levels of abstraction from business models to implementation. Horizontally, elements are separated based on whether they are customer-facing or infrastructure-facing. The document argues that applying the separation continuum to a product line architecture can help achieve high levels of reuse and productivity when developing product lines by clearly separating concerns.
This document discusses software reuse and component-based development. It defines software reuse as creating software from existing software components rather than building from scratch. Component-based development allows large, abstract enterprise components to be reused to reduce development time. There are different types of software reuse and several benefits including increased reliability, reduced risks, and accelerated development. Component retrieval is discussed as an important part of software reuse, but it remains a difficult problem to find efficient solutions. Overall, the document presents an overview of software reuse and component-based development while noting that more work is still needed to improve component retrieval methods.
An Empirical Study of the Improved SPLD Framework using Expert Opinion TechniqueIJEACS
Due to the growing need for high-performance and low-cost software applications and the increasing competitiveness, the industry is under pressure to deliver products with low development cost, reduced delivery time and improved quality. To address these demands, researchers have proposed several development methodologies and frameworks. One of the latest methodologies is software product line (SPL) which utilizes the concepts like reusability and variability to deliver successful products with shorter time-to-market, least development and minimum maintenance cost with a high-quality product. This research paper is a validation of our proposed framework, Improved Software Product Line (ISPL), using Expert Opinion Technique. An extensive survey based on a set of questionnaires on various aspects and sub-processes of the ISPLD Framework was carried. Analysis of the empirical data concludes that ISPL shows significant improvements on several aspects of the contemporary SPL frameworks.

Proceedings of the ISCA 18th International Conference on Computer Applications in Industry and Engineering, CAINE 2005, November 9-11, 2005, Honolulu, Hawaii, USA. ISBN 1-880843-57-9 (pages 85-90).
Model-driven Framework for Dynamic Deployment and Reconfiguration of Componen...Madjid KETFI
The document presents a model-driven framework called DYVA for dynamic deployment and reconfiguration of component-based software systems. DYVA is a unified framework that can support dynamic deployment and reconfiguration for most component technologies. It is based on an abstract component model that captures common concepts across component models. This abstract model acts as a platform-independent model in the MDA approach. Specific frameworks for dynamic deployment can then be generated by customizing DYVA through plug-ins that map component descriptions to the abstract model. This allows developing dynamic deployment supports in a standardized way across different component technologies.

This time, we're diving into the murky waters of the Fuxnet malware, a brainchild of the illustrious Blackjack hacking group.
Let's set the scene: Moscow, a city unsuspectingly going about its business, unaware that it's about to be the star of Blackjack's latest production. The method? Oh, nothing too fancy, just the classic "let's potentially disable sensor-gateways" move.
In a move of unparalleled transparency, Blackjack decides to broadcast their cyber conquests on ruexfil.com. Because nothing screams "covert operation" like a public display of your hacking prowess, complete with screenshots for the visually inclined.
Ah, but here's where the plot thickens: the initial claim of 2,659 sensor-gateways laid to waste? A slight exaggeration, it seems. The actual tally? A little over 500. It's akin to declaring world domination and then barely managing to annex your backyard.
For Blackjack, ever the dramatists, hint at a sequel, suggesting the JSON files were merely a teaser of the chaos yet to come. Because what's a cyberattack without a hint of sequel bait, teasing audiences with the promise of more digital destruction?
-------
This document presents a comprehensive analysis of the Fuxnet malware, attributed to the Blackjack hacking group, which has reportedly targeted infrastructure. The analysis delves into various aspects of the malware, including its technical specifications, impact on systems, defense mechanisms, propagation methods, targets, and the motivations behind its deployment. By examining these facets, the document aims to provide a detailed overview of Fuxnet's capabilities and its implications for cybersecurity.
The document offers a qualitative summary of the Fuxnet malware, based on the information publicly shared by the attackers and analyzed by cybersecurity experts. This analysis is invaluable for security professionals, IT specialists, and stakeholders in various industries, as it not only sheds light on the technical intricacies of a sophisticated cyber threat but also emphasizes the importance of robust cybersecurity measures in safeguarding critical infrastructure against emerging threats. Through this detailed examination, the document contributes to the broader understanding of cyber warfare tactics and enhances the preparedness of organizations to defend against similar attacks in the future.

3. Software reuse In most engineering disciplines, systems are designed by composing existing components that have been used in other systems. Software engineering has been more focused on original development but it is now recognised that to achieve better software, more quickly and at lower cost, we need a design process that is based on systematic software reuse. There has been a major switch to reuse-based development over the past 10 years.
4. Reuse-based software engineering Application system reuse The whole of an application system may be reused either by incorporating it without change into other systems (COTS reuse) or by developing application families. Component reuse Components of an application from sub-systems to single objects may be reused. Covered in Chapter 17. Object and function reuse Software components that implement a single well-defined object or function may be reused.
9. The reuse landscape Although reuse is often simply thought of as the reuse of system components, there are many different approaches to reuse that may be used. Reuse is possible at a range of levels from simple functions to complete application systems. The reuse landscape covers the range of possible reuse techniques.
14. Reuse planning factors The development schedule for the software. The expected software lifetime. The background, skills and experience of the development team. The criticality of the software and its non-functional requirements. The application domain. The execution platform for the software.
15. Application frameworks Frameworks are moderately large entities that can be reused. They are somewhere between system and component reuse. Frameworks are a sub-system design made up of a collection of abstract and concrete classes and the interfaces between them. The sub-system is implemented by adding components to fill in parts of the design and by instantiating the abstract classes in the framework.
16. Framework classes System infrastructure frameworks Support the development of system infrastructures such as communications, user interfaces and compilers. Middleware integration frameworks Standards and classes that support component communication and information exchange. Enterprise application frameworks Support the development of specific types of application such as telecommunications or financial systems.
17. Web application frameworks Support the construction of dynamic websites as a front-end for web applications. WAFs are now available for all of the commonly used web programming languages e.g. Java, Python, Ruby, etc. Interaction model is based on the Model-View-Controller composite pattern. Chapter 16 Software reuse 17
18. Model-view controller System infrastructure framework for GUI design. Allows for multiple presentations of an object and separate interactions with these presentations. MVC framework involves the instantiation of a number of patterns (as discussed in Chapter 7).
20. WAF features Security WAFsmay include classes to help implement user authentication (login) and access. Dynamic web pages Classes are provided to help you define web page templates and to populate these dynamically from the system database. Database support The framework may provide classes that provide an abstract interface to different databases. Session management Classes to create and manage sessions (a number of interactions with the system by a user) are usually part of a WAF. User interaction Most web frameworks now provide AJAX support (Holdener, 2008), which allows more interactive web pages to be created. Chapter 16 Software reuse 20
21. Extending frameworks Frameworks are generic and are extended to create a more specific application or sub-system. They provide a skeleton architecture for the system. Extending the framework involves Adding concrete classes that inherit operations from abstract classes in the framework; Adding methods that are called in response to events that are recognised by the framework. Problem with frameworks is their complexity which means that it takes a long time to use them effectively.
23. Key points Most new business software systems are now developed by reusing knowledge and code from previously implemented systems. There are many different ways to reuse software. These range from the reuse of classes and methods in libraries to the reuse of complete application systems. The advantages of software reuse are lower costs, faster software development and lower risks. System dependability is increased. Specialists can be used more effectively by concentrating their expertise on the design of reusable components. Application frameworks are collections of concrete and abstract objects that are designed for reuse through specialization and the addition of new objects. They usually incorporate good design practice through design patterns. Chapter 16 Software reuse 23
25. Software product lines Software product lines or application families are applications with generic functionality that can be adapted and configured for use in a specific context. A software product line is a set of applications with a common architecture and shared components, with each application specialized to reflect different requirements. Adaptation may involve: Component and system configuration; Adding new components to the system; Selecting from a library of existing components; Modifying components to meet new requirements.
26. Application frameworks and product lines Application frameworks rely on object-oriented features such as polymorphism to implement extensions. Product lines need not be object-oriented (e.g. embedded software for a mobile phone) Application frameworks focus on providing technical rather than domain-specific support. Product lines embed domain and platform information. Product lines often control applications for equipment. Software product lines are made up of a family of applications, usually owned by the same organization. Chapter 16 Software reuse 26
27. Product line specialisation Platform specialization Different versions of the application are developed for different platforms. Environment specialization Different versions of the application are created to handle different operating environments e.g. different types of communication equipment. Functional specialization Different versions of the application are created for customers with different requirements. Process specialization Different versions of the application are created to support different business processes.
28. Product line architectures Architectures must be structured in such a way to separate different sub-systems and to allow them to be modified. The architecture should also separate entities and their descriptions and the higher levels in the system access entities through descriptions rather than directly.
30. The product line architecture of a vehicle dIspatcher 30 Chapter 16 Software reuse
31. Vehicle dispatching A specialised resource management system where the aim is to allocate resources (vehicles) to handle incidents. Adaptations include: At the UI level, there are components for operator display and communications; At the I/O management level, there are components that handle authentication, reporting and route planning; At the resource management level, there are components for vehicle location and despatch, managing vehicle status and incident logging; The database includes equipment, vehicle and map databases.
33. Product instance development Elicit stakeholder requirements Use existing family member as a prototype Choose closest-fit family member Find the family member that best meets the requirements Re-negotiate requirements Adapt requirements as necessary to capabilities of the software Adapt existing system Develop new modules and make changes for family member Deliver new family member Document key features for further member development
34. Product line configuration Design time configuration The product line is adapted and changed according to the requirements of particular customers. Deployment time configuration The product line is configured by embedding knowledge of the customer’s requirements and business processes. The software source code itself is not changed.
36. Levels of deployment time configuration Component selection, where you select the modules in a system that provide the required functionality. Workflow and rule definition, where you define workflows (how information is processed, stage-by-stage) and validation rules that should apply to information entered by users or generated by the system. 3. Parameter definition, where you specify the values of specific system parameters that reflect the instance of the application that you are creating Chapter 16 Software reuse 36
37. COTS product reuse A commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) product is a software system that can be adapted for different customers without changing the source code of the system. COTS systems have generic features and so can be used/reused in different environments. COTS products are adapted by using built-in configuration mechanisms that allow the functionality of the system to be tailored to specific customer needs. For example, in a hospital patient record system, separate input forms and output reports might be defined for different types of patient. Chapter 16 Software reuse 37
38. Benefits of COTS reuse As with other types of reuse, more rapid deployment of a reliable system may be possible. It is possible to see what functionality is provided by the applications and so it is easier to judge whether or not they are likely to be suitable. Some development risks are avoided by using existing software. However, this approach has its own risks, as I discuss below. Businesses can focus on their core activity without having to devote a lot of resources to IT systems development. As operating platforms evolve, technology updates may be simplified as these are the responsibility of the COTS product vendor rather than the customer. Chapter 16 Software reuse 38
39. Problems of COTS reuse Requirements usually have to be adapted to reflect the functionality and mode of operation of the COTS product. The COTS product may be based on assumptions that are practically impossible to change. Choosing the right COTS system for an enterprise can be a difficult process, especially as many COTS products are not well documented. There may be a lack of local expertise to support systems development. The COTS product vendor controls system support and evolution. Chapter 16 Software reuse 39
41. COTS solution systems COTS-solution systems are generic application systems that may be designed to support a particular business type, business activity or, sometimes, a complete business enterprise. For example, a COTS-solution system may be produced for dentists that handles appointments, dental records, patient recall, etc. Domain-specific COTS-solution systems, such as systems to support a business function (e.g. document management) provide functionality that is likely to be required by a range of potential users. Chapter 16 Software reuse 41
42. ERP systems An Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system is a generic system that supports common business processes such as ordering and invoicing, manufacturing, etc. These are very widely used in large companies - they represent probably the most common form of software reuse. The generic core is adapted by including modules and by incorporating knowledge of business processes and rules.
44. ERP architecture A number of modules to support different business functions. A defined set of business processes, associated with each module, which relate to activities in that module. A common database that maintains information about all related business functions. A set of business rules that apply to all data in the database. Chapter 16 Software reuse 44
45. ERP configuration Selecting the required functionality from the system. Establishing a data model that defines how the organization’s data will be structured in the system database. Defining business rules that apply to that data. Defining the expected interactions with external systems. Designing the input forms and the output reports generated by the system. Designing new business processes that conform to the underlying process model supported by the system. Setting parameters that define how the system is deployed on its underlying platform. Chapter 16 Software reuse 45
46. COTS integrated systems COTS-integrated systems are applications that include two or more COTS products and/or legacy application systems. You may use this approach when there is no single COTS system that meets all of your needs or when you wish to integrate a new COTS product with systems that you already use. Chapter 16 Software reuse 46
47. Design choices Which COTS products offer the most appropriate functionality? Typically, there will be several COTS products available, which can be combined in different ways. How will data be exchanged? Different products normally use unique data structures and formats. You have to write adaptors that convert from one representation to another. What features of a product will actually be used? COTS products may include more functionality than you need and functionality may be duplicated across different products. Chapter 16 Software reuse 47
49. Service-oriented COTS interfaces COTS integration can be simplified if a service-oriented approach is used. A service-oriented approach means allowing access to the application system’s functionality through a standard service interface, with a service for each discrete unit of functionality. Some applications may offer a service interface but, sometimes, this service interface has to be implemented by the system integrator. You have to program a wrapper that hides the application and provides externally visible services. Chapter 16 Software reuse 49
51. COTS system integration problems Lack of control over functionality and performance COTS systems may be less effective than they appear Problems with COTS system inter-operability Different COTS systems may make different assumptions that means integration is difficult No control over system evolution COTS vendors not system users control evolution Support from COTS vendors COTS vendors may not offer support over the lifetime of the product
52. Key points Software product lines are related applications that are developed from a common base. This generic system is adapted to meet specific requirements for functionality, target platform or operational configuration. COTS product reuse is concerned with the reuse of large-scale, off-the-shelf systems. These provide a lot of functionality and their reuse can radically reduce costs and development time. Systems may be developed by configuring a single, generic COTS product or by integrating two or more COTS products. Enterprise Resource Planning systems are examples of large-scale COTS reuse. You create an instance of an ERP system by configuring a generic system with information about the customer’s business processes and rules. Potential problems with COTS-based reuse include lack of control over functionality and performance, lack of control over system evolution, the need for support from external vendors and difficulties in ensuring that systems can inter-operate.
