This thesis deals with the creation of a library that can be used in the construction of network protocols. The library provides functions that are useful for organizing protocols as stacks of layers and for processing packets. The thesis implements the main concepts of the special purpose language, Morpheus [2]. Morpheus was designed by Mark Bert Abbott at the University of Arizona in 1994 but has not yet been implemented. We have implemented the main concepts of Morpheus by using a concurrent programming language called MPD (Multithreaded, Parallel and Distributed) [5] and a programming discipline known as reactive objects. Morpheus is based on the concept of protocol shapes. A protocol shape is a template for implementing protocols with certain functions. Three main protocol shapes are router, sequencer and multiplexor. The protocol implementer constructs protocols by extending these shapes. Our library implements these shapes as objects. Each of these shapes in turn extends from a base protocol object called Protocol. We have used reactive objects for allowing communication between protocols.

Testing in Agile development frameworks has engaged the concentration of software developers throughout the world. The research regarding this testing is however limited. This paper comprises a literature survey study, which intends to categorize and examine the current existing testing frameworks in agile methodology. The comparative study is done with the Test Driven Development (TDD) and Agile Model Driven Development (AMDD) techniques. The results show the benefits and drawbacks of the current existing testing frameworks in agile methodology in general. However many techniques still make every effort to get the general solutions. Basing on our results general ideas are suggested regarding the testing frameworks in agile methodology.

This research paper discusses the software engineering field. In which many problems exist because the software engineering field consists of different nodes and each node in turn contains a unique field. The paper also explores problems within the software engineering field as well as the market situation and the reasons behind the software engineering field in Academia are lagging behind. Here some guidelines are presented for Academia as well as industry for the improvement/help of the software engineers. The implication of an increasingly geographically mobile workforce mean that students educated in Asian regions, in particular, are facing problems due to differences in their education and culture from those in the West. In addition we present several issues concerning online studies vs. traditional studies and analyze the findings
