The success of MDA depends on the definition of model transformations and component libraries which make a significant impact on tools that provide support for MDA. MDA is a young approach and several technical issues are not adequately addressed. For instance, existing MDA-based CASE tools do not provide adequate support to deal with component-based reuse (CASE, 2009). In light of this, we pro...

For the enhancement of quality in the software development, to eliminate the repeated work and to improve the efficiency, we require a effective solution that is software reuse. But how to identify and evaluate the performance of reusable software from the existing systems has remained the task for developers. Defining metrics to reusable components has given the structural analysis to the diff...

55 Abstract Promoting reuse at sophisticated levels is becoming an increasingly important part. Software reuse is the process of reusing the existing software components from the system rather than developing the components newly. As software reuser’s include the reusable software components to improve the productivity and quality in their product, they must be able to measure the reusability d...

Electronic government employs electronic services to facilitate interaction with citizens and enterprises and deliver a rich and high quality spectrum of services. Development of electronic services can be greatly assisted, both in terms of development cost and roll-out time, by exploiting the reusability inherent in them. Reusability may be promoted by identifying reusable objects in the conte...

This paper is about a coordinate system problem for the “live” aspect of LVC training that impacts terrain reusability. Commonly used commercial software for producing correlated terrains has an outdated definition of datums that assumes that NAD83 and WGS84 are still equivalent, and does not take into account the newer realizations of these, or the fact that there have been significant plate t...

The production of interactive multimedia content is in most cases an expensive task in terms of time and cost. Hence, optimizing production by exploiting the reusability of interactive multimedia elements is mandatory. Reusability can be triggered by a combination of reusable multimedia components and the appropriate use of metadata to control the components as well as their combination. In the...

Initial teaching of programming typically stresses language and program implementation issues, rather than design. We suggest a focus on reusability offers a way to introduce design at an early stage. Our approach is based on a general model for understanding reusability. It allows students to understand some basic design issues that assist programming language learning and program implementati...

Object-oriented languages are often promoted as encouraging the production of flexible, reusable software. Unfortunately, experience suggests that although individual classes may be reusable, large class libraries seem to lack flexibility in the face of circumstances unforeseen by the designer. This paper explores the problems associated with flexibility and reuse in large libraries, and shows ...
