碩士 === 國立交通大學 === 資訊工程研究所 === 81 === The Reusable Software Design Framework (RSDF) has been introduced to support reuse of design [kao 92]. It can achieve reuse-in-large, and it simplifies the software design process. The concept of a framework also can be applied to icon programming. In this thesis, we propose an icon programming model for the RSDF. To achieve reuse of the RSDF in icon environments, we propose an architecture for an Icon Framework that is an iconic version of RSDF. We then propose an icon model that can fully utilize the benefits of the Icon Framework and set forth guidelines for transforming the RSDF into an Icon Framework.Our icon programming model uses icons to represent objects, supports an Icon Framework, achieves high-level visualization, and supports automatic code generation. Thus, programming-in-large, reuse-in-large and software automation are possible. An banking system example is provided to illustrate the feasibility of our icon programming model.
