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: The paper describes problems and solutions for integrating old existing software in Fortran with new programming paradigms in the context of a specific tool to simulate a new ship design in a bridge simulator. A system kernel in pure Java application is combined with simulation tools written predominantly in Fortran.
