520			_aThe mechanical and electronics industries have long embraced the idea of component-based manufacturing of their products. Similarly, component-based software development has gained wide acceptance within the computer science discipline and the software development industry. Component-based software development is a logical extension of object-oriented concepts and the corresponding object technologies, which have pervaded in the software industry since the early 1990s. No formal attempt has been made, however, to use component-based architecture for development of structural engineering applications, although several applications of object-oriented techniques have been explored and reported in literature. The impact of Information Technology and the Internet on almost all disciplines and computer applications is significantly changing the traditional concepts of data processing and data orientation. The overall structural design process can also be viewed as an information transfo1mation process; hence the development of integrated applications using information orientation. Information in the computing environment is being represented and communicated increasingly through markup languages, most notably Extensible Markup Language (XML). No significant efforts have been made in the structural engineering discipline to represent the design information in standard markup languages to make it universally accessible and understandable. This research presents the overall framework for component-based software development for integrated sh·uctural engineering applications using the principles of information transformation. Once the components have been developed within this framework, specific applications can be developed by assembling them. An information-oriented review of the overall shuctural design process is carried out to develop the information content and h·ansformations involved in this process. This information transformation concept is then used to propose a framework for the development of software for integrated structural design applications including the identification of key packages, patterns, components, class hierarchies and object models. Use of XML is proposed as the main info1mation description and communication standard. The advantages of using the proposed framework are discussed along with application and implementation scenarios.
