Abstract

A model is presented that recognizes a multilevel development paradigm with participation of system developers (vendor), application specialists (vendor or customer), and end users (customer). Within this paradigm, the authors utilize several reusability technologies but adapt them to a range of developer skill levels. This model can be used for tools that allow reusability while facilitating customization of software applications and software products. It is also shown how the Application Development Toolkit and its underlying application development model address these issues to provide a real solution to the customization problem.<>
