Archetyping: A software generation and management methodologyMany knowledge based software generation methods have been proposed to improve software quality and programmer productivity. Several government and industry initiatives have focused on software reusability as one solution to these problems. DARTS (trademark), a General Dynamics proprietary symbolic processing technology, provides a unique solution to the reuse problem: archtyping. Archtyping is the embedding of high order language statements in text files. An advanced macroprocessor uses the text files to generate new versions of complex software systems. A DARTS program, the Software Generation and Configuration Management (SGCM) System automates the archtyping process and maintenance cycle. The DARTS technology is briefly discussed, archtyping is described, and the SGCM system is presented in detail.
