Call For Papers: Special Issue on Reuse into Practice
Guest Editors: Giancarlo Succi & Stephane Doublait
IJAST is organizing a special issue on Reuse into
Practice to appear in late 1995. Software reusability has
emerged as one of the most important research areas of
software engineering. Increasingly, the market demands
software-intensive systems which are more robust and
simpler to develop. In a rapidly evolving market, time-to-
market often differentiates success from failure. Thus
far, it has only been possible to meet market demands for
complex systems by expensive handcrafting. Software
reusability may be the key in solving the software crisis
since it affects the productivity in two ways:
(i) the reduction of the development time, since
reusing component instead of rebuilding them from
scratch should make the production faster,
(ii) improved quality and reliability of the
component, since reused components are not only tested
but also verified in production environment and the
more a component is reused the more reliable it is for
future reuse.
Despite these premises, a hard application of reusability
of software code is still to come, and those who are
trying to do it, are reluctant to really share their
experience, their successes and, besides, their failures.
Therefore this issue of IJAST would like a forum for
discussing topics related to this field with a strong
emphasis on real experiences. A non-exhaustive list of
interesting aspects of experiences in putting Reuse into
Practice is the following:
1. Tools supporting reusability
2. Libraries of reusable components
3. Corporate production processes including design for
reuse
4. Metrics and productivity evaluation
5. How the choice of a programming language affects
reusability
6. Structuring a working team to support reusability
7. Legal aspects of reusability
Format of submission: Papers should not exceed 30 double
spaced pages (approx. 5000 words). Papers should not
have been previously published, nor currently submitted
elsewhere for publication. Papers should include a title
page containing title, authors' names and affiliations,

numbers. Papers should include a 300 word abstract and 5-
10 keywords. Electronic submission (preferably in LaTeX
with epsf figures imported with espf.sty) is strongly
encouraged and should be sent to:
IJAST-Reuse@lii.unitn.it
