Abstract

Many methods for representing software components for reuse have been proposed. These include traditional library and information science methods, knowledge based methods, and hypertext. There has been no empirical evaluation of these methods, and consequently there is no data about their relative costs and effectiveness. Proteus is an experimental reuse library system that will be used to help gather such data. Reuse library systems are usually tied to one method---Proteus supports multiple methods.

Software reuse

Software reuse is the process of creating software systems from existing software rather than building software systems from scratch. This simple yet powerful vision was introduced in 1968. Software reuse has, however, failed to become a standard ...
Unanticipated reuse of large-scale software features
ICSE '06: Proceedings of the 28th international conference on Software engineering

Software reuse has been endorsed as a way to reduce development times and costs while increasing software quality and reliability. Techniques designed to encourage software reuse have concentrated on creating reusable software in the form of frameworks, ...
