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.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
