Abstract :
The development of object-oriented programming (OOP) software for a prototype switching system, including the DSS1 protocol on integrated services digital network (ISDN) subscriber signaling and the ISDN user part (ISUP) for network signaling, is discussed. The major goal of the project is to determine whether switching system software can be clearly structured by using the rules of OOP, and whether the use of OOP concepts leads to an improvement in productivity and quality for large software systems. The standard classes, application classes, class hierarchy, and layer model with the OOP project are described. The experiences in applying OOP for the development of switching system software are summarized.<>
