This paper establishes the importance of competitive performance for software firms and highlights the potential of reusability in increasing competitive performance. The importance of reusability is discussed by examining its effect on three different software process dimensions flexibility, productivity and predictability. From the literature, a research model is developed and used as the bas...

In this paper we discuss a rule-based approach to chunking implemented using the LT-XML2 and LT-TTT2 tools. We describe the tools and the pipeline and grammars that have been developed for the task of chunking. We show that our rule-based approach is easy to adapt to different chunking styles and that the mark-up of further linguistic information such as nominal and verbal heads can be added to...

The most significant invention made in recent years to serve various applications is software. Developing a faultless software system requires the design be resilient. To make more efficient, it essential assess reusability of components used. This paper proposes prediction model named Flexible Random Fit (FRF) based on aging resilience for Service Net (SN) system. developed multilevel optimiza...

This paper presents our recent developments that aim to make the instrument definition process of our visual synthesis environment more accessible to a broader audience. There are several novel aspects that aim to overcome some of the classical limitations found in sound synthesis systems. After an introductory section we discuss two advanced examples where scores containing several model-based...

Software ecosystems are defined as collections of organizations that are related through software or a software related concept. Within such ecosystems, reusability is fundamental to software sustainability and cost-efficiency. Design for reusability brings the technical promise of high quality software that emerges from clean design, fitness for a purpose and a low defect count. This ensures t...

There are various approaches to quantitatively and statically measuring the reusability of program source code; however, empirical demonstrations of the effectiveness of such approaches by considering actual reuse in actual development projects or of the magnitude of their effect on actual reusability have not been reported in depth. In this paper, we identified a set of metrics that are though...

There has, of recent, been a marked interest in the utilization of learning objects, specifically on the potential of granularity and reusability to make instructional development more efficient, and learning experiences more customized and meaningful . Juxtaposition of affordance systems and intelligent systems reveals powerful possibilities for granularity and reusability. Biology, architectu...

This paper presents a clustering approach for grouping components of similar reusability using an already worked out fuzzy data set [2]. Research has shown that, component based systems development concept benefits the object oriented software development. A Component based system achieves flexibility by clearly separating the stable parts of systems from the specification of their composition....
