Software Reuse Guidelines and Method

Guidelines for the reuse and customisation of software for education

Software Design for Reliability and Reuse Preliminary Method De nition

data types (ADT's) ADT's specify the theory of a signature algebra as a system of equations. Typically, these equations refer to terms in particular datatypes and the algebraic theory is executable by a rewrite semantics. An executable algebraic theory combines speci cation with the design of an implementation. The external view of an ADT hides both its implementation and its theory, revealing ...

Knowledge Reuse for Software Reuse

Software reuse can provide significant improvements in software productivity and quality whilst reducing development costs. Expressing software reuse intentions can be difficult though. A developer may aspire to reuse a software component but experience difficulty expressing their reuse intentions in a manner that is compatible with, or understood by, the component retrieval system. Various int...

Domain Reuse Guidelines

In this paper, we discuss the general area of software development for reuse and reuse guidelines. We identify, in detail, language-oriented and domain-oriented guidelines whose effective use affects component reusability. This paper also proposes a tool support which can provide advise and can generate reusable components automatically and it is based on domain knowledge (reuse guidelines repr...

Software Reuse and Safety

This tutorial addresses issues and current practices regarding the important topic of the interaction of software reuse and safety. This topic has become very relevant to modern embedded systems in domains from aerospace to automotive, as new architectures are introduced that encourage the development and use of reusable components. The two sections of the tutorial provide first an introduction...
