Abstract

Platform R&D has been shown to be a useful technique to diversify product offerings, reduce product costs, improve time to market, and improve product quality. Techniques for the architectural design of product platforms have evolved from industry-specific models to more generic approaches. Modularity is a key aspect of product platform architecture. Object-oriented design is a proven technique for developing software that is extendable, reusable, and easy to maintain, all of which positively impact quality and lifecycle costs. Object-oriented programming languages abound. Modularity is a significant facet of object-oriented design. Given the shared focus on modularity, it is not surprising that a comparison of object-oriented design and platform R&D methodologies yields several similarities. However, a contrast of these techniques suggests some principles from the field of object-oriented design that might be beneficially applied to the platform R&D process. In particular, object-oriented methodology is more explicit in characterizing module interface design. A synthesis of these two approaches is proposed.

平台中的一个新板块:面向对象的平台研发扩展

平台研发已被证明是一种有用的技术，可以使产品多样化，降低产品成本，缩短上市时间，提高产品质量。产品平台的体系结构设计技术已经从特定于行业的模型发展到更通用的方法。模块化是产品平台架构的一个关键方面。面向对象设计是一种经过验证的技术，用于开发可扩展、可重用和易于维护的软件，所有这些都对质量和生命周期成本产生积极影响。面向对象的编程语言比比皆是。模块化是面向对象设计的一个重要方面。考虑到对模块化的共同关注，比较面向对象设计和平台研发方法会产生一些相似之处也就不足为奇了。然而，这些技术的对比表明，面向对象设计领域的一些原则可能有利于应用于平台研发过程。特别是，面向对象的方法在描述模块接口设计方面更加明确。本文提出了这两种方法的综合。
