This book is an updated edition of the previous McGraw-Hill
edition, which was an essential guide to successful reuse across
the entire software life cycle. It explains in depth the
fundamentals, economics, and metrics of software reuse. The bottom
line is good news for designers of complex systems: Systematic
software reuse can succeed, even if the underlying technology is
changing rapidly. Software reuse has been called the central
technical concept of object-oriented design. This book covers reuse
in object-oriented systems, but goes far beyond in its coverage of
complex systems - the type that may evolve into "systems of
systems." Important new material has been added to this edition on
the changed state-of-the-art and state-of-the-practice of software
reuse, on product-line architectures, on the economics of reuse, on
the maintenance of COTS-based systems. A case study using DoDAF
(The Department of Defense Architectural Framework) in system
design has been included to show some new thinking about reuse and
some attributes of large-scale components of very large systems.
After an introduction to basics, the book shows you how to: 1.
Access reuse and disadvantages for your systems. 2.Understand and
use domain analysis. 3.Estimate total costs, including maintenance,
using life-cycle-based models. 4.Organize and manage reuse
libraries. 5.Certify software components that have been created at
any phase of the software life cycle your organization uses.
6.Implement systematic reuse using COTS (commercial, off-the-shelf)
components and other existing software. The book includes several
models and reengineering checklists, as well as important case
studies. These models and checklists help anyone faced with the
problem of whether to build, buy, reuse, or reengineer any software
component, system, or subsystem of reasonable complexity. Such
components, subsystems, and systems often fit into the new
paradigms of service-oriented architectures (SOA) and
software-as-a-service (SaAS). Software Reuse: Methods, Models,
Costs emphasizes the cost efficient development of high-quality
software systems in changing technology environments. Our primary
example of domain analysis, which is the analysis of software into
potentially reusable artifacts, often at a higher level than simply
source code modules, is the assessment of possibilities for reuse
in the Linux kernel. There are eight chapters in Software Reuse:
Methods, Models, Costs: What is Software Reuse?, Techniques (which
included domain analysis), Reuse Libraries, Certification of
Reusable Software Components, The Economics of Software Reuse,
Reengineering, Case Studies, and Tools For Software Reuse.
