Abstract
Software reuse practices and tools have been proposed over the last decades. From the reuser’s perspective, it is necessary to provide facilitators in order to execute reuse tasks among tools. Accordingly, we propose the use of a common representation for Reuse Assistants (RA), which are computer executable reuse tasks specified in a model. This model is extensible since it extends Reusable Asset Specification metamodel, an OMG standard to define software assets such as artifacts and documents with structured information for reuse such as activities and guidelines. Besides, the metamodel is specified in Eclipse Modeling Framework (EMF), a widely used environment for metamodeling. The proposed extensions allow one to provide information to guide reusers through the execution of reuse tasks among tools, with structured information that can be used to generate deployment descriptors and scripts mapped for task execution languages. Thus, this paper presents this proposal by exemplifying developer’s tasks that can be assisted by RAs.
