Abstract

Many projects have struggled with attempting reuse; however, both size and complexity of a large project create additional obstacles that can minimize the potential for software reuse. Therefore, successful software reuse can not be guaranteed solely by the use of Ada, object-oriented development methods, taxonomies, storage and retrieval systems, commercial libraries, software methods, standards, or configuration management systems! It was proposed [Bowen, 1990], that inorder for software reuse to succeed on large projects, these methods and techniques must be combined in a coordinated reuse effort. The software process must address issues related to the management of the development effort, in addition to addressing purely technical issues. This paper will present how th e concept of an organized, devoted, project-wide reuse effort has been practically applied by Computer Sciences Corporation (CSC), over the past year on the Advanced Automation System (AAS), as part of the team led by International Business Machines (IBM) Corporation.
