Abstract

In this paper a number of reuse approaches for circuit design are analysed. Based on this analysis an algebraic core model for discussion of a general reuse strategy is proposed. Using this model, the aim is to classify different reuse approaches for circuit design, to compare the applied terms and definitions, and to formulate classes of typical reuse tasks. In a practical application with focus on retrieval and parameterisation techniques, this model is on the way to being applied to DSP design issues.

Strategies for Software Reuse: A Principal Component Analysis of Reuse Practices

This research investigates the premise that the likelihood of success of software reuse efforts may vary with the reuse strategy employed and, hence, potential reuse adopters must be able to understand reuse strategy alternatives and their implications. ...
A study of reusability, complexity, and reuse design principles
ESEM '12: Proceedings of the ACM-IEEE international symposium on Empirical software engineering and measurement

A study is reported on the relationship of complexity and reuse design principles with the reusability of code components. Reusability of a component is measured as the ease of reuse as perceived by the subjects reusing the component. Thirty-four ...
Viewpoint-centred reuse: bridging the gap between reusability and the needs of the reuser

The "Reuse without Reusers" SyndromeThe problems of low productivity, late delivery and poor software quality are, unfortunately, characteristic of the software industry (Horowitz and Munson 1989). Increasingly, software developers are looking towards ...
