Building Software Reuse Library with Efficient Keyword based Search Mechanism

Abstract-Software reuse is the use of existing software components to build a software system. Effective storage and retrieval of software components is much essential in reuse process. The researchers have developed a number of software reuse techniques for storage and retrieval of components. No one technique is complete in its own; every technique has its own merits and demerits. This paper presents a new approach for building software reuse library based on keyword searching for storage and fast retrieval of software components. Keywords are matched with given query, character by character so that a fraction of match can also be given due weightage. To make this paper beneficial to new researchers, algorithms are explained in detail. I
