Abstract

The principles of adaptive object-oriented programming hold many promises for the speeding up of systems development and the reuse of software. Unfortunately it is hard to study these principles without their current context of the Demeter method. In this paper the theory and instrumentation of method engineering is applied to define a clear, concise and ready-to-use method fragment to support adaptive functionality specifications. The fragment is not embedded in the context of a specific method and can be used to integrate adaptiveness into nearly all object-oriented analysis and design methods. As an example the fragment is integrated into Object Modeling Technique (OMT) from Rumbaugh et al.

The joint research of the authors into adaptive programming was partly supported by grants of the royal Dutch Institute of Engineers (Klvl), the department of Computer Science of the University of Twente and the Foundation for the Fund of the University of Twente. Research at Northeastern University is partly supported by the National Science Foundataion under grant numbers CCR-9102578 (Software Engineering) and CDA-9015692 (Research Instrumentation).
