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, postal and email addresses, telephone numbers and Fax 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 Authors not having access to Internet can submit through regular mail by sending six copies of their manuscript to Giancarlo Succi at the address given below. Deadlines: Paper should be submitted by June 1st. Notification of acceptance will be given by July 31st. Camera ready copy will be due September 30th.
