Software Reusable Components With Repository System

Software Reusable Components With Repository System

Software reuse is the process of creating software systems from existing software rather than building them from scratch. The goal is the use of reusable components as building blocks in new systems with modifications occurring in a controlled way. The reuse of software components is the key to improve productivity and quality levels in software engineering. One of the most promising approaches...

Formalizing Reusable Software Components

There has been a long-standing desire in computer science for a way of collecting and using libraries of standard software components. Unfortunately, there has been only limited success in actually doing this. We believe that the lack of success stems not from any resistance to the idea, nor from any lack of trying, but rather from the difficulty of choosing an appropriate formalism for represe...

Reusable Software Components

AbstructAn empirical study of methods for representing reusable software components is described. Thirty-five subjects searched for reusable components in a database of UNIX tools using four different representation methods: attribute-value, enumerated, faceted, and keyword. The study used Proteus, a reuse library system that supports multiple representation methods. Searching effectiveness was...

Customizing Dependability with Reusable Software Components

Many large software systems have diierent components with varying requirements for robustness and performance. Moreover, dependability requirements often change throughout their software life-cycle. Thus any single dependability technique is insuf-cient for implementing large systems. Software developers need to be able to modify dependability code without modifying application code. We outline...
