This article has been retracted at the request of the Editor-in-Chief. Please see Elsevier Policy on Article Withdrawal (http://www.elsevier.com/locate/withdrawalpolicy).Reason: The authors have plagiarized part of a paper that had already appeared in Sarah A. Sheard, “The Frameworks Quagmire,” Crosstalk: The Journal of Defense Software Engineering, 10 (1997) 17–22.One of the conditions of submission of a paper for publication is that authors declare explicitly that their work is original and has not appeared in a publication elsewhere. Re-use of any data should be appropriately cited. As such this article represents a severe abuse of the scientific publishing system.The scientific community takes a very strong view on this matter and we apologize to the author of the original article and readers of the journal that this was not detected during the submission process.
