Active Software Artifacts

There are many similarities between industrial goods manufacturing and software development processes. This paper first briefly analyzes the recent developments in goods manufacturing, and then identifies the equivalent techniques in software technology. It is claimed that products developed during software manufacturing must be modeled as active artifacts. As a possible approach in this direction, an object-oriented artifact production framework is presented and evaluated.
