Abstract :
The author present the novel software design environment APICES. It is specifically tailored to support rapid application development based on network like data structures which are typical for CAD tools, system level design tools or DSP applications. APICES is based on graph patterns. These graph patterns offer high-level functionality for beyond manipulation of simple graphs consisting of nodes and edges. By making graph patterns re-usable within an object-oriented framework architecture and by offering multi-target code generators the author is able to provide a powerful environment for prototyping and rapid development of graph-based applications. The author demonstrates the productivity gains and the benefits of APICES by rapid application development of a multi-rate digital signal processing tool
