This paper proposes a classification method of commonality and variability for identified services from feature models, since features can express the properties of services. The service is identified by feature organizing, considering the selective and relational attributes of features. Identified services are classified the commonality and variability of services; this involves analyzing the ...

Software reusability is an essential characteristic of Component-Based Software (CBS). The component reusability is an important assess for the effective reuse of components in CBS. The attributes of reusability proposed by various researchers are studied and four of them are identified as potential factors affecting reusability. This paper proposes metric for reusability estimation of black-bo...

The reusability of services is a cornerstone of the Service-Oriented Architecture design paradigm as it leads to a reduction in the costs associated with software development, integration and maintenance. However, reusability is difficult to achieve in practice as services are either too generic or overspecified for the tasks they are required to complete. This paper presents our work in defini...

SOA is a prominent paradigm for accomplishing reuse of services. Service reusability is one dominant factor which has a greater influence on achieving quality in SOA systems. There exists sufficient research in this area and researchers have contributed many works towards achieving quality in SOA systems but much emphasis was not provided on service reusability [1] [2] [3]. Few authors have add...
