	abstract = {During the past decades, programming methodology has seen an improvement by
 structured programming and object-oriented programming (OOP), leading to software
 that is more reliable and easier to develop. However, software engineers are still
 dealing with problems in processing associated documentation. Literate programming
 was introduced by Donald Knuth in the early 80's as an approach to produce programs
 together with their documentation in a way that is aimed at consumption by
 humans rather than by compilers. However, dated and complex features, dependence
 on formatting and programming language, and a lack of methodology prevented the
 method from gaining in popularity.

In this thesis, we propose an approach to "integrate" OOP with literate programming
 in order to present and document the whole design in a consistent and
 maintainable way. In our approach, both program code and corresponding documentation
 are generated from the same source. The resulting documentation consists
 of code chunks with detailed explanations, as well as automatically generated class
 diagrams with varying levels of detail. A tool, Spark, has been developed and applied
 to the design of a Transit Information System from requirement analysis to testing.
 Spark was also used in its own development.},
