Object Technology Reuse Survey

Object Technology Reuse Survey

[DBowles289]

              Is your organization attempting to implement reuse 
              with Object Technology?  Are you interested in 
              participating in a study of  reuse issues?  In return 
              for your	participation,  you will receive a copy of 
              the study results.

              I am a computer science student at the University 
             of North Carolina at  Asheville.  I am doing a research
             project on factors which lead to successful reuse.  This
             project has been funded for presentation at the National 
             Conference on Undergraduate Research at the University
             of Texas in April.  

             Appearing below this message is a questionnaire.  Please 
             take a few minutes to respond.  Your name and the name 
             of your organization will be kept confidential, and you will
             receive a copy of the results in May.

	Please return your questionnaire to me at the address below.

                                                 Thank you,

                                                  Debbie Bowles
