Abstract

Object-oriented software libraries expand in size more rapidly than other type of software library. This paper presents a simple approach for aiding reuse in software development using object-oriented library. Our approach improves the effectiveness of code searching by reorganizing the library with facet classification scheme and thesaurus. Information in specification models, such as data flow diagrams (DFDs), is extracted through object abstraction and then used as a query input. We are currently implementing a Computer-Aided Reuse Tool (CART) based on the approach.
