Reusability Comes of Age
نویسنده
چکیده
f the seven articles selected for this special issue of IEEE Software, five are accounts of projects that have made the reuse of software components a reality. This focus is deliberate: By showing how it's been done in the real world, we hope to provide some insight and tools to implement reuse in the workplace. The final two articles examine what kind of help programmers need to evaluate and understand software intended for reuse. For years, I have used an analogy that compares used cars to used programs (Computer, April 1983, June 1986, and May 1987). I think this analogy holds for pungent and pragmatic reasons: People are leery about buying a used car for many of the same reasons programmers are reluctant to reuse someone else's work. With this analogy in mind, I offer some of my own insights as a seasoned veteran of many used-program sales into the problems of software reuse and what factors have inhibited its acceptance as viable form of software development.

Reusability-Based Strategy for Development of Information Systems
This paper describes the experience of a large bank in designing and implementing an information systems strategy that is based on the concept of resuability. The design and implementation was performed in two stages: (1) building prototype to investigate the feasibility and attractiveness of reusability concept for the bank; and (2) its subsequent implementation using a library of reusable ent...
