A Flexible Micro Protocol Framework

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNCCN,volume 3319))

Abstract

Structuring and reuse are key approaches to the proper development and maintenance of software systems. System structuring is essential to controlling complexity, and is a prerequisite for the extraction of reuse artifacts. Reuse of solutions is crucial to controlling quality and productivity. In previous work, we have identified and applied the structuring unit micro protocol. We extend these results by defining a flexible micro protocol framework, and by applying it to the design of a functionally complete communication system, with SDL as design language.

This work has been supported by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) as part of Sonderforschungsbereich (SFB) 501, Development of Large Systems with Generic Methods.
