This paper describes and explains the rationale behind the product model that is employed in the configuration design tool SyDeR (System Design for Reusability, [SDR98]). its name indicates, SyDeR stresses the reuse of system designs in later design projects. The field where SyDeR is applied is configuration design lbr products for which there is not a complete, fixed set of components, but rat...

Various recent approaches aim at improving the application of the separation of concerns principle by introducing new system units. Although they seem to have the potential to improve the system development process, additional challenges evolve. This paper addresses some challenges concerning the reusability of these new system units. Our considerations about reusability are twofold. First, the...

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 u...

Interest in philosophy and the humanities increased after Second World War, especially West, as critical movement began to reconsider Western intellectual philosophical heritage, emerged approaches known as” postmodernism“, foundations of cultural thought, a product that cognitive postmodernism"; concept postmodernism, which is central This term associated with very diverse group rarely each ot...

Component-Based Software (CBS) has emerged as more generalized approach for application development. In Component-Based Software Engineering (CBSE), it is required to measure the reusability of components in order to improve the reuse of components effectively because reusability is an effective way to increment the productivity in CBSD; it is required to calculate the reusability of components...

Two of the fundamental uses of generalization in object-oriented software development are the reusability of code and better structuring of the description of objects. Multiple inheritance is one of the important features of object-oriented methodologies which enables developers to combine concepts and increase the reusability of the resulting software. However, multiple inheritance is implemen...

The last decade has shown that object-oriented concept by itself is not that powerful to cope with the rapidly changing requirements of ongoing applications. Component-based systems achieve flexibility by clearly separating the stable parts of systems (i.e. the components) from the specification of their composition. In order to realize the reuse of components effectively in CBSD, it is require...

38 ABSTRACT 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. Subroutines or functions are the simplest ...
