The relationship between amount of reuse, quality, and productivity was studied using four sets of C and C++ modules collected from industrial organizations. The data domains are: text retrieval, user interface, distributed repository, and medical records. Reuse in this paper is ad-hoc, black box, compositional, code reuse. The data generally show that more reuse results in higher quality, but ...

In order to maintain, extend or reuse software projects one has to primarily understand what a system does and how well it does it. And, while in some cases information on system functionality exists, information covering the non-functional aspects is usually unavailable. Thus, one has to infer such knowledge by extracting design patterns directly from the source code. Several tools have been d...

Reusability is the likelihood a segment of source code that can be used again to add new functionalities with slight or no modification. Reusable modules and classes reduce implementation time, increase the likelihood that prior testing and use has eliminated bugs and localizes code modifications when a change in implementation is required. Software reuse is the process of implementing or updat...

The authors propose new McEliece cryptosystems based on punctured Reed–Muller (RM) codes. They successfully show that the commonly known attacks, such as the Minder–Shokrollahi attack, the Chizhov–Borodin attack, and the square code attack, are ineffective against the proposed RM code-based McEliece cryptosystem. We developed an optimal puncturing scheme to prevent the above-mentioned attacks f...

Exploitation of a vulnerability that compromised the source code Solar Winds’ Orion system, software is used widely by different government and industry actors in world for administration monitoring networks; brought to fore type stealth attack has been gaining momentum: supply chain attacks. The main problem violation that, from 85% 97% currently development comes reuse open frameworks, reposi...

Object-oriented programming has brought many advantages to the software engineering community. The reuse of existing software components and application frameworks can improve the productivity in software development considerably. The same object-oriented techniques, i.e., inheritance and information hiding, that ease reusing software, can be applied to documentation and thus, enable its reuse....

This paper describes the process of code scavenging for reuse. In particular, we consider enriching program comprehension for the identification and integration of reuse components by information abstraction and the use of graphical representations. The requirements of good reuse candidates are described, and then a description of a process of identifying and preparing for their reengineering i...

The term “domain engineering” has come into common use over the last decade within a loosely formed community of software researchers and practitioners that share a concern with systematic software reuse. In this community, the term “domain” generally denotes an area of functionality within a set or class of software systems; domain engineering offers a systematic method for designing software ...

Worldwide the belief is shared that software reuse is needed to cope with the ever increasing amount of software. Software reuse is one part of addressing the amount of software, which is often overhyped and underestimated. Reuse of software is discussed via 8 statements, addressing: the need for reuse, the technical and organizational challenges, integration issues, evolution, reuse of know ho...

We describe the methodology and current features for ML2000, a new-generation design of ML. ML2000 adds a number of features to Standard ML and Caml, providing better support for extensibility and code reuse, while also fixing latent problems. Although none of the features is particularly novel on its own, the combination of features and design methodology are.
