Restructuring and maintenance of long living software systems
This project is running.
Among engineering sciences there are a lot of softwaretools which have been developped within extensive research programs. The value of this software is in the estimable reliability of its calculation results, even though the quality requirements of this software do not always come up to a modern standard. The aim of this project is to develop mechanisms and procedural methods how these systems, especially the E4-system for ship design applied in our institute, could be maintained and continously enhanced.

Abstract: This paper presents an approach of a software framework to support software developing engineers by handling procedural software. The framework offers practical assistance for separating the control flow from the numerical functionality. Especially by long-lived and growing software tools, it allows to implement a flexible and clear documentable workflow, based on a configurable state machine. A rudder design tool illustrates the approach. This tool has been continuously developed over years with several changes of the responsible engineer.
