Abstract

This paper discusses the concept of adaptability as a means for reaping the cost and schedule reduction benefits of reuse. Adaptability strives to implement the variability identified by domain analyses while managing the cost of implementation, extension, and use. The paper discusses a context for understanding different domain-specific reuse approches relative to adaptability and analyzes experience in designing and developing adaptable code. The experience is drawn from the ARPA Software Technology for Adaptable, Reliable Systems (STARS) joint demonstration project with U.S. Navy.
