Phase I Testbed Description: Requirements and Selection Guidelines

The Application of Reusable Software Components Project has constructed a reuse
testbed  for  conducting   software   engineering   experiments   in   software
reusability.    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.

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.

   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.
