Context : Software library reuse has significantly increased the productivity of software developers, reduced time-to-market and improved software quality and reusability. However, with the growing number of reusable software libraries in code repositories, finding and adopting a relevant software library becomes a fastidious and complex task for developers. Objective: In this paper, we propose...

Software reuse is the process of building new systems from existing components instead of developing these systems from scratch. For a long time now software reuse is repeatedly acknowledged for playing an essential role in overcoming the so-called software crisis, i.e. the late delivery of then still faulty software products. Current development practice as for example object-oriented analysis...

Mem provides an experimental environment for multilingual and multiscript typesetting with LTEX in the Aleph typesetting system. Aleph is Unicode-savvy and combines features of Omega and eTEX. With Mem you should be able to typeset Unicode documents mixing several languages and several scripts taking advantage of its built-in OCP mechanism and with a high level interface. Currently still under ...

The shared object model is an appealing programming abstraction for distributed computing. By hiding the details of the network and data distribution, it allows the programmer to focus on higher-level concerns, and makes the program structure robust in the presence of changes in distribution patterns or environment. Nevertheless, it is not at all clear that the distributed shared object model c...
