Reusable ADA Components Sourcebook

Starting with an introduction to software reuse and a discussion of its feasibility, the authors go on to consider how the Ada software components that may be found in this book could be used. Ada was designed with reuse very much in mind, and this book contains the complete source code for many software components, making it essentially a small, but invaluable, library. Everyone whose field is software engineering, both novices and experts alike, will find that this book offers a wealth of interesting and practical information.When forming a new product the conventional engineer can take advantage of subassemblies. To the software engineer reusable software components offer the same possibilities; the same components can be incorporated into many whole new systems, thus saving considerable time and effort. Here, the authors introduce software reuse and discuss its feasibility. Ada was designed with reuse very much in mind and in this book the authors give the complete Ada source code for many software components and discuss how they might be used, making it essentially a small but invaluable library. This book will be a resource of great interest and practical use to everyone whose field is software engineering, both novices and experts alike. Its unique value is that all source code is provided in the book, which makes this reference considerably less expensive than contemporary Ada packages.
