Automatic Identification of Reusable Components

Engineering, page 80--89. IEEE Computer Society Press, (1995)Abstract
A model for the effective reuse of components from previous software
developments is presented. The model has been implemented in a
software system which makes use of software measures to assess the
reusability of a given component. The results obtained by the system
were then benchmarked against the performance of experienced software
developers in terms of recognizing reusable components. The initial
results suggest that the approach has merit and can serve as a
practical mechanism for effectively identifying reusable components
from existing software libraries.
