The Ten15 project (software development)

Describes the background and progress of the Ten15 project at RSRE. The emphasis centres on the potential advantages to the software engineering community of the widespread adoption of Ten15 as a kernel for software engineering applications. Ten15 provides an algebraic basis for software development. It has three important aspects: first, it provides an interface that makes different computers compatible, thus ensuring the portability of all programs that are written on top of Ten15; the second major facet of Ten15 is that it provides a powerful set of facilities for implementing and integrating system components and databases within a distributed environment; and thirdly, Ten15 allows its users to preserve their existing investment in software. >
