            Welcome to EVE - the Evolution & Validation Environment!
             
            Reuse in software construction has been a core aspect of software 
            engineering since the term was coined in late 70's. Strategies for 
            reuse like high level languages, structuring and encapsulation have 
            made valuable contributions. Today, the software industry produces 
            components as reusable parts, which deliver advantages like faster 
            time-to-market, cost reduction, better maintainability, configurability 
            etc. While the reuse of code and components improves, one important 
            contributing factor of the engineering process remains out of scope: 
            Although design reuse is more effective and beneficial than code reuse 
            models of software systems still are not assets of the software process. 
            As a result design reuse does not impact the actual software engineering 
            process.  
             
              This 
            is the point where EVE comes into play. 
             
            We hope EVE has the potential to globally reuse and 
            share know-how expressed in models and model services, independent 
            of and complementary to existing modeling tools.  |
