Software Reusability Volume 1

Biggerstaff and Perlis have compiled two volumes reflecting advances in software reusability. This comprehensive set includes both theoretical and practical contributions from the leaders in this emerging field - many written or rewritten specifically for these books. Each contribution speaks directly to the growing demands in software engineering to enhance productivity and reduce costs.Volume I, Concepts and Models, provides a framework for understanding software reusability. It begins with an overview and assessment of reusability, then presents a variety of composition- based and generation-based systems that explain the principles underlying the new methodology and illustrate its critical place in large-scale programming projects. 0201080176B04062001
