From article <11963@boulder.Colorado.EDU>, by scotth@boulder.Colorado.EDU (Scott Henninger): > > ...It will take thousands or > millions of components to make a truly useable software reuse > environment. There is no way that a human can keep track of what is > available at that kind of scale. > The key word here is *environment*...requiring an electrical engineer to have memorized the specifications of all components available for use in a circuit is a similarly daunting requirement. What's truly necessary in this setting is a library retrieval system capable of narrowing the field of search to a managable set of alternatives. Prieto-Diaz' work on faceted classification of software is one such approach Classification of a component can be costly, but this can be amortized over the life of its retrieval and reuse. - Dave ------ David Eichmann Dept. of Statistics and Computer Science West Virginia University Phone: (304) 293-3607 Morgantown, WV 26506 Email: eichmann@a.cs.wvu.wvnet.edu
