Integrating three important aspects of software reuse--technical, management, and organizational--this indispensable reference shows how these fundamental aspects are used in the development lifecycle of component-based software engineering and product line engineering. The book explores the basic foundations upon which reuse processes and approaches can be established and discusses state of the art and state of the practice of software reuse.

Practical models and fundamental aspects of reuse-based software engineering
This volume provides an overview of the current state and the future of reuse-based software engineering and discusses the vital technical, managerial, and organizational aspects of reuse in one treatment. It also shows how these fundamental aspects can be used in the development life cycle of component-based software and product line engineering.
The authors present the basic foundations upon which reuse processes and approaches can be established and integrate theoretical concepts with applied practice. They also discuss the development of an effective large-scale discipline utilizing:
* The state of the art in multi-paradigm programming, design, and architectural techniques for codifying and packaging high-quality software artifacts that are widely applicable and cost-effective
* Effective organizations with the mandate and the resources to produce and manage a shared repository of software assets
* A set of control and management tools for planning, controlling, and evaluating the degree to which such an organization meets its objectives
Reuse-Based Software Engineering offers in-depth discussion of these fundamental issues and total coverage of the state of the art. The inclusion of review questions and exercises makes it an excellent tutorial for both academics and professionals.

The definitive book on reuse,
By Pachet, Francois (Paris France) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Reuse-Based Software Engineering: Techniques, Organizations, and Controls (Hardcover)
Software engineering books are usually the most boring books you can find: you read them only if you have to. The reason is not because the subject is boring (it really is not), but because most of the software engineering researchers lack either knowledge, first hand experience, culture, intelligence, or combinations thereof.This one is an exception. It if the first time I read a book on software engineering with the impression that I learn important things, that the authors know what they are talking about, and do no try to sell propaganda, but to understand the real issues behind reuse. Taking reuse as a focal point, the book addresses and highlights most of the software engineering issues at stake in the last 20 years, from frameworks, patterns, oo programming up to metaclass programming and meta modeling. This makes it incidentally an ideal reference book for teaching software engineering in the large. Not only you get plenty of technical details and well crafted examples, but you also get a fully documented vision - so often lacking in this field : that the whole point of engineering software is not only about solving problems, but also about solving them in the right way, elegantly, and so that the code produced is understandable, maintanable, etc. In short, that it makes sense.

Excellect,
By Roy Rada (Baltimore, Maryland) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Reuse-Based Software Engineering: Techniques, Organizations, and Controls (Hardcover)
"Reuse Based Software Engineering" is the best software reuse book that I have found. The coverage is exhaustive. The book is over 600 pages with 600 words per page - almost half a million words to reuse. The logical organization is detailed and facilitates domain modeling - the hierarchy goes to 3 levels in most places and has at the top level these sections: * Introduction No other book has such a comprehensive coverage of both the technical and managerial issues. More work has been done in the past on the technical issues, and this book faithfully represents that emphasis. The section on Object-Oriented Domain Engineering is 230 pages long and includes many examples of code that would facilitate object-oriented reuse. The four authors are top international experts on software reuse. The book cites about 500 publications from the software reuse literature. In addition to covering all the major results of the past quarter century, the authors introduce some of their state of the art work. If you are seriously interested in software reuse, this book belongs in your collection.
