DEVELOPING REUSABLE SOFTWARE COMPONENTS FOR DISTRIBUTED EMBEDDED SYSTEMS

Software reuse is one of the technical approach that many believe can reduce software development time and cost. Reuse is clearly a partial solution to the long and costly development problems with complex control systems.This paper discusses why software is hard to reuse and why we cannot extend reuse analogies in other fields to software. The proposed approach is based on an incremental strategy and addresses managerial, economic, performance and technology transfer issues. This approach is practical, effective, and has potential to make reuse a regular practice in the software development process. This paper explores what is necessary for ac-complishing systematic reuse and recommends strategic approach for reuse of softwar
