Abstract
Rapid prototyping has become an accepted software development method to construct and adapt software, validate and refine requirements, and check the consistency of proposed designs rapidly. A computer-aided software engineering (CASE) tool is described that is used in conjunction with the Computer Aided Prototyping System (CAPS), which will retrieve reusable components from a software base using a given specification. The specification language used is the Prototype System Description Language (PSDL). Reusable Ada components will be stored in an object-oriented database management system with an appropriate PSDL specification. Each component's PSDL specifica- tion will be normalized to facilitate search retrieval. The database architecture, specification normalization, and matching techniques are described.
