....Then each realized application extends the library and simplifies the implementation of the next one. Unfortunately, there are almost no approaches to formalize the design process of such object oriented libraries. A remarkable exception is step by step generalization by Koskimies and Mossenbock [12]. They suggest to first generalize the initial problem in several steps until its most general (sensible) level is reached. Then by reversing the sequence of the previous steps, each generalization level is successively implemented by using the previous more general level of implementation. ....

....article is a reorganized and improved version of the discussion paper Multimodel Analysis and Design by this author [9] It had been inspired by Paul A. Fishwick s book [8] and by a lecture of Hanspeter Mossenbock given at the Universitat Karlsruhe (TH) based on Kai Koskimies and his article [12]. ....

....two more or less theoretical methods are introduced. In the first subchapter we introduce a pattern language suggested by Roberts and Johnson [RoJ96] this language offers guidance in framework design. The second subchapter summarizes the paper Designing a Framework by Stepwise Generalization [KoM95] written by Koskimies and Mssenbck; it presents a two phase framework design method. 4.2.1 A Pattern Language for Developing Frameworks In the paper Evolving Frameworks: A Pattern Language for Developing Object Oriented Frameworks [RoJ96] Roberts and Johnson present a pattern language which ....

....specialized inspecting and debugging tools. Find the portions of your framework that are difficult to inspect and debug. Create specialized tools to navigate and inspect the compositions. 4.2. 2 Stepwise Specialized Frameworks In their paper Designing a Framework by Stepwise Generalization [KoM95] Koskimies and Mssenbck suggest that the design of a framework shall proceed in two phases. The first phase is called problem generalization. It starts from a single example problem which is then generalized in a sequence of steps into the most general (sensible) form. The first phase makes use ....

....the software to be studied. The user can run the (instrumented) software with different input data, and observe its behavior both in typical and in exceptional cases. Scene has been applied to framework like systems of rather different character, for example, to a compiler construction framework [9] and to the graphics editor Kepler [23] We feel that Scene offers the most benefits when applied to frameworks, because they often exhibit complicated dynamic behavior, and understanding this behavior is crucial for being able to adapt the frameworks. Several aspects of Scene require further ....

....frameworks, i.e. collections of classes that implement the common aspects of applications in a particular domain. Individual applications can be obtained by specializing the framework, i.e. by extending some of its classes or by plugging application specific code into the framework (see e.g. [5]) In contrast to traditional class libraries (e.g. for common data structures) the classes in a framework cooperate closely for a common goal. To understand a framework, it is vital to understand its dynamic co operation patterns. On the other hand, understanding a framework is a prerequisite ....
