Background

My work in reuse began on a contract that supported the Army RAPID Center (now ARC - Army Reuse Center). In this position, I certified over 500 reusable components, analyzed components for reusability, evaluated the certification process and taught a tutorial in the use of RAPID's library tool. After changing employment to General Research Corp., I became the head of the reuse team for GRC's software development work on RCAS. My responsibilities include identifying and developing reusable components, encouraging donation of components, and promoting their use as well as developing a formal reuse plan, setting goals, and measuring reuse. In addition to my activities on RCAS, I am GRC's represent-itive to the STAR's TT affiliates program and an active member of the RIG's technical commitee 2 which I represented on a panel at ANCOST'93.
