Abstract

Despite initial technical barriers having been overcome, organizational wide component reuse has not enjoyed universal acceptance. Research has identified social and organizational factors as probable causes. This paper describes the Social Factors for Reuse Model (SFR Model), a predictive capability model based on Keidel's triadic model of the organization. It determines an organization's readiness for the introduction of Component Based Software Engineering (CBSE); describing the social and organizational conditions that should be met to maximize the chances of successful implementation. A sample application of the Model is described.
