Higher order software a methodology for defining software

About Help Login. Back to Results Higher order software - A methodology for defining software Higher order software HOS is concerned only with computable functions and relationships. The HOS methodology can be used for the definition of software for multiprogrammed, multiprocessor, or multicomputer systems.

A description of HOS methodology is presented, giving attention to questions of formulation, interface correctness, specification language principles, and HOS analyzers. Aspects of system design are considered, and details of software management are discussed. Attention is given to modularity as defined by HOS, frozen module management, the assembly control supervisor, and aspects of reliability and efficiency.

Document ID. Higher Order Software—A Methodology for Defining Software Abstract: The key to software reliability is to design, develop, and manage software with a formalized methodology which can be used by computer scientists and applications engineers to describe and communicate interfaces between systems.

These interfaces include: software to software; software to other systems; software to management; as well as discipline to discipline within the complete software development process. With six axioms as the basis, a given system and all of its interfaces is defined as if it were one complete and consistent computable system.

Strange this post is totaly irrelevant to the search query I entered in google but it was listed on the first page.

By the time information systems reach jet-plane status, we will focus on utility over fads, triple our productivity, use our computers as naturally and easily as we now use our cars… Attributed to Michael L. This is a good approach to what, for some, may be a controversial topic. Very well though out post. So…uh, you used SharePoint? Go spend some time with Charles Simonyi before you go claim to be working in such a fashion.

Not new, but yes, very valuable. I Like these line of your article As you can see from above example, the OLAP based building blocks built by the development team enabled business users to perform dynamic queries to respond to historization requests from the client and build adhoc reports to meet compliance and regulatory needs. A note about your presumptuous name. The mathematical theory and a tool set for your method was published in by Margaret H. I like what you guys tend to be up too. This kind of clever work and coverage!

Higher Order Software Development January 14, Higher Order Software Development I cannot claim it to be an act of volition, but, over the last three years I have found myself involved with building software designed to allow the business users to create the programs they need.

The following figure shows the basic architecture: Who built what Development Team Built a framework based Excel Services Business Users Developed the calculation logic using Excel As you can see from above example, we built the software building blocks using Excel Services, which in turn enabled the analysts to implement the calculations as needed.

Example 2: Incident Management System for Law Enforcement Agencies Law enforcement agencies are looking for ways to improve the processes surrounding incident reporting and management. NET based workflows Business Users Provisioned the site, customized the site, content types, adhoc workflows, custom lists and views As you can see from above example, we built the software building blocks using the SharePoint platform that in turn enabled the law enforcement officials to effectively manage the incidents.

Example 3: Data Analysis Tool for the Telecommunication Industry Network optimization engineers often need to convert vast amount of raw network performance data into useful data visualizations and data products that can assist them in identifying network performance bottlenecks. Snapshot of Workflow Foundation based designer used by network engineers Who built what Development Team Built a framework to host WF programs, developed domain specific WF activities, customized the WF designer to make it business-user ready Business Users Developed custom workflows As you can see from above example, by building a set of building blocks in the form of custom workflow activities, we were able allow network engineers to develop the programs that allowed them to analyze vast amounts of raw data.

Who built what Development Team Organized the data in OLAP structure, developed a scheme to populate the OLAP structure in real time Business Users Developed the queries to respond to historization related requests, built adhoc reports to meet compliance and regulatory needs Readers who are familiar with BI business intelligence systems are probably wondering how the solution described above is different from a traditional BI solution.
