Abstract

A fundamental premise for any type of reuse is the knowledge about the existence of the object to be reused. Such knowledge may already be available, for example, due to the past experience of the subject of the reuse action or may be obtained through knowledge dissemination. Information retrieval is a key mechanism for allowing a uniform dissemination of the knowledge about available reusable objects.The instantiation of this problem to the software reuse field is the subject of this work. The synergy among the software reuse and information retrieval fields is exploited in the formulation, implementation and evaluation of an integrated environment that aims at promoting a greater reuse activity level on the quest for developing software with better quality while consuming fewer resources.
