Reusability Issues in Software
One of the often echoed solutions to the Software Crisis calls for
increased programmer productivity through the reuse of software artifacts
(designs, code, tests, etc.). This concept, while not new, has had limited
success until recent advances in programming technology and languages.
In order to better track the advances made in the state of the practice of
reusability in software, I have organized sessions at two conferences
during the first quarter of 1987: HICSS20, The 20th Annual Hawaii
International Conference on System Sciences January 6-9, and IEEE Computer
Society COMPCON Spring 87, March 2-5 in San Francisco. Also, I have
submitted a proposal to the editors of IEEE Software for a special issue
on Reusability. Finally, if interest warrants, perhaps a second workshop
on Issues in Reusability might be appropriate.
Papers are being solicited to focus on the following topics as they apply
to reusability in programming:
* Components
* Component Libraries
* Composition Methodology
* VHLL and POL
* Application Generators
* Transformation Systems
* Software Manufacturing
