Abstract

All programmers should understand the concept of software families and know the techniques for constructing them. This paper suggests that classic problems, such as well-known algorithms and data structures, are good sources for examples to use in a study of software family design. The paper describes two case studies that can be used to introduce students in a Java software design course to the construction of software families using software frameworks. The first is the family of programs that use the well-known divide and conquer algorithmic strategy. The second is the family of programs that carry out traversals of binary trees.
