Abstract:

The paper is being used to present our concerns at the research session of the 4th Annual Software Reuse Workshop. We are trying to integrate reuse concepts into an environment that exhibits Domain Specific Reuse. The concept of application generators and automatic code generation utilizing graphical specification techniques must be explored, as well as possible formal language definitions. One of our biggest challenges will not be technical, but process oriented, as we try to transfer new technology onto working projects, including acceptance of reuse technology in safety critical systems.
