Editorial Reviews

Review

"A very important book on how to improve software development productivity through reuse of software development products. Wayne Lim has done it and is sharing his insights. Exhaustive and meticulous in its coverage, this is the definitive book on how to implement this approach. His book is to the Information Age what process automation was to the Industrial Age." -- Dr. F. Warren McFarlan, Albert H. Gordon Professor of Business Administration and Senior Associate Dean, External Relations, Harvard University Graduate School of Business Administration

"In this book, Wayne Lim addresses the key problems of reuse economics and reuse technology transfer in the best way; with data, case studies, and empirically based guidance. Wayne draws on a Harvard M.B.A., industrial experience at Hewlett-Packard, and consulting experience to create a valuable reference for managers trying to make reuse pay off." -- Dr. William Frakes, Associate Professor and Director, Computer Science Department, Virginia Tech and Chair, IEEE TCSE Reuse Committee

"Software reuse researchers and practitioners have learned that success with software reuse requires careful attention to many issues, both non-technical and technical. Foremost, success requires a commitment by upper management, followed by careful planning and execution by middle management. Reuse is a business and management issue - reusable software becomes a corporate asset, to be invested in, improved, and used consistently. Wayne has always been tremendously concerned about how reuse would be managed as a business strategy. This excellent book reflects his care and attention to detail, focussing squarely on the key management, measurement and economic issues. It is a superb handbook, providing a comprehensive set of tools, models and metrics needed to assess the current state of reuse, develop economic models and plan a reuse program. But the book offers far more. It provides a coherent and illuminating study of how various trends in business, manufacturing, economics and organization design have influenced the understanding of how to effect a successful reuse program. -- Dr. Martin L. Griss, Senior Laboratory Scientist, Hewlett-Packard Laboratories, Co-author, "Software Reuse: Architecture, Process and Organization for Business Success"


Product Description

Managing Software Reuse is an invaluable reference and includes the world's most extensive collection of surveys on reuse adoption strategies (eleven strategies), success factors (five studies), economic models (seventeen models), reuse maturity models (seven models), assessments (nine assessments), organizational structures (seven structures), metrics, processes (ten processes), domain analyses approaches (nine approaches), reusability guidelines (nine sets of guidelines), prologues (five prologues), and certification levels (eight examples).

Based on the author's experience in establishing reuse programs at Hewlett-Packard and Ford Aerospace, Managing Software Reuse is a comprehensive, step-by-step, guidebook to an integrated approach for investigating, planning, and implementing software reuse. With the reuse potential and aptitude model, he shows when reuse should not be implemented in an organization and illustrates the case with reuse failures. He introduces the forward-thinking concept of Strategy-driven reuse, the deliberate choice and implementation of reuse for gaining competitive advantage. Examples and data from real-life reuse programs in companies such as Hewlett-Packard, IBM, GTE, Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corporation, and First Boston are used to highlight key concepts. A useful outline is provided for the reader to create a reuse infrastructure and implementation plan.

Included in the book is an extensive list and description of companies reusing software in the aerospace, banking, computer and electronic equipment, information systems and business applications, analytical instruments, insurance, manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, telecommunications, transportation, and utilities industries.

4.0 out of 5 stars Comprehensive and authoritative text on Software Reuse, March 31, 2000
Managing Software Reuse provides procedures, approaches, insight and examples for a corporate reuse strategy. The author seems to avoid current technologies (like COM and CORBA) and focus at a broad higher level.

-These views are my own and do not represent the views of Intel Corporation.
