Abstract
Summary form only given. Software reuse has been identified as a potential source of significant improvement in software productivity and quality. However, for reuse to become a reality, major advances need to be made. The vision that the software industry evolves into component factories, has not been realized yet. The problem is not only a technical one, but also organizational. Some of the technical questions are: how to make software reusable, how to design software in a way that will enable the use of existing components in a new software, how to store a library of components and how to search for a needed component. Some of the organizational questions are: what needs to be done within a software (or system) producing organization, to create reusable components and how to modify existing contracting arrangements, to encourage the production of reusable software on one hand, and the reuse of existing components on the other?.>
