Abstract

This paper presents a taxonomy of problems related to domain-specific reuse. The taxonomy identifies seven major problem categories (such as domain, modeling notation and viewpoints) and their sub-categories. A description of each problem in the taxonomy is given, illustrated where appropriate, with an example taken from an industrial case-study performed by the authors for Rolls-Smiths Engine Controls Limited (RoSEC). A resolution matrix is also presented, which suggests practical strategies for resolving each kind of problem described in the taxonomy.
