Modelling software components for reuse

چکیده
The eld of reuse in software engineering is large, and a great diversity of approaches claim to be based on a reuse technology. Despite the great diversity of approaches , some general ideas can be identiied that all the approaches have in common. These mainly concern the representation of the components and the data that is manipulated by the components. In this paper we identify and analyse a consensus in the literature concerning how to model software components for reuse. We deene the basic structures for the components, the data that is being manipulated by the components, and how the components should be reused. These structures are used as a basic model for program supervision, in which programs in software libraries are used as reusable software components. We also identify some areas that are not covered by the existing literature.

Modelling Component Libraries for Reuse and Evolution
If we want to compose components which were used to build a certain software application, with other components to develop a new application, we lack the necessary knowledge to reuse these components. The research on software libraries has improved reuse. Our goal is to classify software components in libraries using a multidimensional approach supporting reuse as well as evolution. For this pu...
متن کاملSoftware Model Engineering and Reuse
Reuse is an important aspect of software engineering that promises advantages like faster time-to-market, cost reduction, better maintainability etc. The software industry focuses on components and commercials of-the-shelf in order to gain reusable assets. However, reuse on the design level is normally not addressed. If we come to perceive models as assets of the software process, then the desi...

The competitive pressures of the telecoms sector are leading to a major push towards the automation and integration of many operational support processes. This creates pressures to develop more flexible and thus durable operational support systems within reduced system development time-scales. To respond effectively to these pressures, developers need to maximise software reuse and make effecti...
متن کاملCertification of Software Components
Reuse is becoming one of the key areas in dealing with the cost and quality of software systems. An important issue is the reliability of the components, hence making certification of software components a critical area. The objective of this article is to try to describe methods that can be used to certify and measure the ability of software components to fulfil the reliability requirements pl...
