Design and implementation of software to automate reuse in component-based system engineering

The goal of this thesis is to develop software under the SpecTRM software package for the partial automation of tasks associated with reusing SpecTRM-RL component models. The automation software is designed to aid the application of component-based system engineering in SpecTRM, mainly by reducing the amount of manual work necessary in setting up component models for simulation. My thesis will examine the properties of component models, and the common tasks associated with component-based system engineering, so as to identify areas where automation is possible, and then present the user interfaces and algorithms necessary to achieve automation. The automation software will be implemented in Java under the Eclipse platform, in order to be seamlessly integrated into the SpecTRM software package.
