Comparison

Most of the research to-date on software reuse has tended to emphasize one aspect or problem area e.g., domain analysis [#!prieto90!#], incentives [#!tracz87!#,#!holibaugh93!#], identification/qualification of reusable components [#!caldiera91!#], economics [#!gaffney92!#], etc. In this research effort I build upon and extend what has been learned about the "pieces" of the software reuse phenomenon to construct a holistic dynamic model of the software reuse process that would allow us to study the complex set of interactions and trade-offs that characterize the process.
