Keyword In Context (KWIC): Solutions

We have four solutions to the Key Word in Context (KWIC) architectural model problem. All four are grounded in published solutions. The first two are those considered in Parnas' original article [Parnas72]. The third solution is based on the use of "reactive integration" and represents a variant on the solution examined by Garlan, Kaiser, and Notkin [Garlan92]. The fourth is a pipeline solution inspired by the Unix index utility [ref??].

Solution 1: Main program/subroutine with shared data.

Solution 2: Abstract data types.

Solution 3: Reactive integration.

Solution 4: Dataflow.
