Aspect-oriented system is a new emerging technique of software development that provides mechanism for implementing cross-cutting concerns. Quality assessment of important characteristics like cohesion, coupling, complexity, reusability, maintaibility, etc. is fairly unexplored for Aspect-oriented systems. Through this research work we have tried to find out the correlation between some of the ...

Automatic reusability appraisal is helpful in evaluating the quality of developed or developing reusable software components and in identification of reusable components from existing legacy systems; that can save cost of developing the software from scratch. But the issue of how to identify reusable components from existing systems has remained relatively unexplored. In this research work, str...

This article investigates questions regarding the setup and reusability of Learning Objects. The authors propose Learning Objects (LOs) as compound objects, consisting of an Information Object (IO) and an Educational Scenario (ES). These two parts are linked together by a specified Learning Target (LT), which is modeled after the taxonomy by Anderson & Krathwohl (2001). In order to improve the ...

The reusability provides many benefits such as increasing productivity, Reliability & Quality along with reducing the cost &development time and if the number of components developed is not according to the requirement then the technique of reusability is of great help. The main problem faced by the CBSE in reusability is to select the component for reuse as before reusing there is need to retr...

This paper presents an advanced an innovative Video Learning Object (VLO) application model for optimal dynamic VLO reusability. The model contains three essential elements – the metadata, the links, and a learning center. Each element of VLO application system is configured for a specific assignment. The model allows for dynamic reconfigurability of VLO metadata based on usage profile. This le...

The aim of Metrics is to predict the quality of the software products. Various attributes, which determine the quality of the software, include maintainability, defect density, fault proneness, normalized rework, understandability, reusability etc. The requirement today is to relate the reusability attributes with the metrics and to find how these metrics collectively determine the reusability ...

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. Software reuse is the process of implementing or updat...

An important aspect of reusing code is making sure it is used correctly. The easier it is to do this, the easier it is reuse the code with conndence. However techniques developed to do such checking, such as type systems, are not universally accepted because they are regarded as being too diicult to use or too restrictive. We believe a better understanding of \checkability" is important, and we...
