An Object-Oriented Approach for Integrated Project Management Software

该提案概述了开发软件的新方法， 项目管理，预计将提供广泛的 对软件开发过程和 所产生的应用程序的特性。 整体 目标是构建提供更大灵活性的系统， 更高的智力和更好的整合能力。 的 建议的方法不会取代传统的项目 管理应用程序或高级应用程序，如专家 系统;相反，它提供了一种更有效和统一的方法 实施这些计划和新的综合环境， 其中可以驻留这些应用程序。 的基本方法 建议的研究，这在很大程度上依赖于对象的概念- 面向编程，就是创建一套标准化的软件 表示项目基本元素的对象 管理过程。 例如，将创建对象以 表示建筑物的物理组件（例如，梁和 柱），生产这些所需的基本建设活动 物理组件，以及执行 活动 这些基本的“构建块”对象可以 根据一般设计和开发拼凑而成 方针，形成各种项目管理的核心 应用程序。

This proposal outlines a new approach to developing software for project management that is expected to offer a wide range of improvements to both the software development process and the characteristics of the resulting applications. The overall objectives are to construct systems that offer greater flexibility, higher intelligence, and significantly better integration. The proposed approach does not replace either traditional project management application or advanced application such as expert systems; rather, it offers a more efficient and uniform methodology for implementing these programs and a new integrated environment in which these application can reside. The basic approach of the proposed research which relies heavily on the concepts of object- oriented programming, is to create a set of standardized software objects that represent the fundamental elements of the project management process. For example, objects would be created to represent a building's physical components (e.g., beams and columns), the basic construction activities needed to produce these physical components, and the resources required to perform the activities. These basic "building block" objects could then be pieced together , according to general design and development guidelines, to form the core of various project management application programs.
