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.
