Object Oriented Approaches to the Generation of Process Control Applications

Abstract

I originally envisioned a completely design-based project, focusing almost entirely on the logical design of the hypothetical Senior Individualized Project Process Control Application Generation Engine (SIPCAGE), however, as time went on and the circumstances noted in the introduction forced me to leave Johnson, I began to go more in depth with the theoretical aspects of what makes a good design, and the recommendations of Donald Firesmith in particular required a substantial portion of the the text to elucidate. After consultation with Richard Carpenter, it was decided that exemplifying the process was more important than coming up with full-fledged project documentation of the SIPCAGE. The quality of the process defines the quality of the product.
