Abstract

Software reuse technology has the potential of impacting significantly the software development process. This paper addresses issues of software reuse and their application to simulation software. A simple classification scheme is presented to assist in the identification of software components. Historical approaches to reuse are then discussed along with desirable attributes of reuse systems and components. Following this, impacts of reuse technology on the software development process are discussed. The paper concludes with sections on the application of reuse to simulation and a methodology for developing reuse systems.
