Systematic software reuse (panel)

Abstract

Ensuringthat object technology will achieve its promise of signlfkant sofware reuse requires that special attention be paid to a combination ofpeople, process and technoloĩ ssues. Reuse will not happen automatically. The panelists will describe their experience with 00 reuse and their views on the issues.

Trends in software reuse research: A tertiary study

“…There are also two main approaches to development: with-reuse (development using pre-existing components) and for-reuse (development of reusable components) [4]. Reuse can also be explained from the point of view of its application scope as: vertical-reuse (reuse of software in a given application domain) or horizontal-reuse (reuse of components across several application domains) [5]. Furthermore, software reuse can describe both the use of pre-existing components to develop new systems or maintaining an old product (legacy systems).…”

“… Automatic search: we have searched in four databases covering major publications in the area of software engineering, as suggested in [5].  Manual search: reviewing all the papers published in the ICSR (the main conference in the software reuse area, worldwide), since its first edition.…”
