....determine which resources to use and how to combine them to apply to problems. These ideas have proven to be useful, even when implemented and applied in informal, ad hoc ways in some of the applications that have made or are making use of wrappings even at this preliminary stage of development [62] [15] The wrappings provide an example of our notion of a coordination system [43] since the scaffolding (which we have called infrastructure) remains with the program at runtime. 3.1 Wrapping Overview The advantages of our knowledge based integration technology are (1) a simplifying ....

.... [15] 22] Japanese corporations report very impressive reuse achievements with domain libraries consisting of only 70 100 assets [34] Furthermore, successful experiences in a wide variety of domains such as telecommunications [7] avionics [10] distributed systems [14] and simulation modeling [21] appear with regularity. Table 6 summarizes some results with domain specific reuse; the reuse levels reported in the first three cases comply with the counting model described in [25] and [27] Note that the existence of a domain library does not guarantee an organization will achieve high levels ....

....to systems for automated design, we have been able to make use of knowledge of specific problems and strategies for that domain. We also claim that our approach is scalable to a real industry application. A system that used a knowledge base to automate wrapping of legacy programs was described in [12]. This system was primarily concerned with handling interface problems with the legacy routines, and making it easier for users to employ legacy simulation programs for new purposes. The system did not specifically address issues of handling failure in the legacy codes. 12. Acknowledgments The ....

....the conceptual design of spacecraft is a tool for assisting design engineers [Bellman, 1991] It allows simulations and optimizations to be carried out as part of the design process, using numerical tools. The VEHICLES system utilized wrappers around legacy mathematical programs [Landauer, 1993] [Miller and Quilici, 1992]. The primary concern addressed by code wrappers in this system was interfacing with the legacy routines, and making it easier for the users to employ existing modeling programs for new purposes. A further, more general discussion of the role of code wrapping in systems for design can be found in ....
