Abstract

In order to improve software development productivity and quality, reuse approaches and supporting library systems have been proposed. Library systems have applied various methods to classify, store, retrieve, and comprehend reusable components effectively. As the number of library systems grows, it is difficult to categorize, compare and analyze existing reuse libraries. In this paper, we present classification criteria for reuse library systems. A set of criteria is defined by integrating facet-based and attribute-based classification methods which encode the properties of a reusable component. In order to show the usefulness of the proposed classification criteria, representative library systems based on application domains, as well as component classification methods ore selected and reviewed. We then classify these library systems according to the proposed criteria.
