The hardware and system software of the testbed will provide a distributed computing environment with file-server capability for the storage of reusable components and other artifacts of the development process. The testbed will support a variety of domain-independent and domain-dependent reusable components. The testbed will also support tools that foster reuse. This document contains the requirements and selection criteria for the testbed hardware, software, reusable resources, and an environment. For each of these four testbed resources, the requirements are grouped into five areas: support of experiments, maximization of experience and reusability, applicability to problem domains, acceleration of technology transition, and advancing the state of the practice in reuse. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CMU/SEI-88-TR-22, ADA204399 Perry Perspective on Software Reuse This report presents a perspective on software reuse in the context of "ideal" software development capabilities. Software reuse is viewed as a means of achievingMor at least approximatingM the idea capabilities. A generic application and development model is proposed for unifying various types of software reuse. The model can be initially formulated as a project family architecture and produced from a domain features analysis. The approach presented in this report is intended to lead to a reuse strategy and methodology for software development. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cognitive issues in software reuse. Coelho, E.M.P. 76 pp.,Jun 1985,Naval Postgraduate School,Monterey, CA,Pub. No: AD-A 159 386 Vast resources are invested in the construction of software. Reuse of software offers potential savings in the construction of new software systems. From the perspective of cognitive science, current proposals for software reuse are depicted. This thesis starts with a cognitive analysis of programming behavior (human thought process). The aspects of cognitive behavior related to program comprehension, the notions of knowledge domain, knowledge acquisition and reconstruction and memory mechanisms are discussed. The definition of software reusability is presented and methods to achieve reuse are discussed. The software development model called DRACO is presented and its concepts are related to software reuse and reconstruction. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Nagai Y. & Chikira H. & Kobayashi M. & Furukawa K.
