Abstract

Software reuse is no longer in its infancy. We are able to look back at more than 15 years of research and should use the opportunity of such a symposium to critically evaluate the past research in order to identify promising future research areas in software reuse.In this paper, we give a broader view of reuse and some of the so far less-considered areas, which we believe may support software reuse to get off the ground. We mention our ongoing research in software reuse, discussing reuse experiments in the areas of long-term software evolution and component programming.Furthermore, we indicate the critical importance of interactions among the reuse and related communities within software engineering, such as the object-oriented and the software maintenance communities.
