Back to [[conference:committee:2014-proposals]]\\ \\ **Title**: Large-Scale C++ - Advanced Levelization Techniques\\ **Proposer**: [[2014:John Lakos]]\\ **Type**: Presentation\\ **Duration**: 90 mins\\ **Description**: \\ Developing a large-scale software system in C++ requires more than just a sound understanding of the logical design issues covered in most books on C++ programming. To be successful, one also needs a grasp of physical design concepts that, while closely tied to the technical aspects of development, include a dimension with which even expert software developers may have little or no experience.\\ \\ In this talk we begin by briefly reviewing the basics of physical design. We then present a variety of levelization techniques, and apply them in present-day, real-word examples to avoid cyclic, excessive, or otherwise inappropriate dependencies. Along the way, we comment on how to make the best use of what the C++ language provides us.\\ \\ \\ \\
