Framework-technology in production and logistic systems

This paper describes the introduction of frameworks in the fields of Production and Logistics. The basic idea of frameworks is to split software in two parts, one domain-specific and reusable and one case specific not reusable. This allows to dramatically increase the amount of reused software parts for new systems within the same domain. This introduction was done in the form of a software process improvement experiment sponsored by the European Commission in the European Software and Systems Initiative (ESSI).
