Abstract

A parameterized software system is one that can be configured by selecting generalized models and providing specific parameter values to fit those models into a general design [Stark 1990]. This is in contrast to the top-down development approach where a system is designed first, and software is reused only when it fits into the design. The concept of parameterized software is particularly useful in a development environment such as the Goddard Space Flight Center Flight Dynamics Division (FDD), where successive systems have similar characteristics.
