When developing a new generation of software-based switching systems in the late 1960's, Ericsson achieved a high degree of reuse by designing the system architecture, the development processes, and the organization in harmony. "All three supported reuse as the natural way of working," said Jacobson. Jacobson claims architecture as the "key to success" and describes its use by Ericsson in detail in the article. He also relates the problems encountered by Ericsson and states, "All these combined experiences tell us that reuse does not happen by itself! Rather, achieving reuse is difficult. The only way we have observed that it is repeatable, manageable, and predictable is a systematic approach that reengineers everything about how you develop systems, with the explicit goal being to achieve reuse!" Jacobson also discussed his continuing work (first at Objectory and now at Rational) on developing a configurable process for reuse. It will constitute the starting point for an organization to reengineer itself by means of system architecture, development processes, and organization to achieve reuse. "The technology is based on our use-case driven, OO-based approaches for business and systems engineering. We have named it Reuse Driven Software Engineering Businesses (RSEB)," Jacobson states. RSEB is based on three harmonized cornerstones: Architecture, Process, and Organization, which Jacobson describes in detail. SOURCE: Jacobson, Ivar.
