✦ Synopsis

Building and maintaining the class hierarchy has been recognized as an important but one of the most difficult activities of object-oriented design. Concept (or Galois) lattices and related structures are presented as a framework for dealing with the design and maintenance of class hierarchies. Because the design of class hierarchies is inherently an iterative and incremental process, we designed incremental algorithms that update existing Galois lattices as the result of adding, removing, or modifying class specifications. A prototype tool incorporating this and other algorithms has been developed as part of the IGLOO project, which is a large objectoriented software engineering joint research project involving academic and industrial partners. The tool can generate either the concept lattice or several variant structures incrementally by incorporating new classes one by one. The resulting hierarchies can be interactively explored and refined using a graphical browser. In addition, several metrics are computed to help evaluating the quality of the hierarchies. Experiments are presented to better assess the applicability of the approach.

Wide quantum wells (WQW) are of special interest because of their intermediate regime between 2D and 3D behaviour. According to the n-i-p-i concept, the design is based on a p-n-p structure with non-depleted n-and p-layers which form a wide quantum well (channel width 100-1000 nm). We present self-c
