Landmark references include: - "Mass Produced Software Components," by Doug McIlroy in [Naur and Randell, 1969]: This is probably the first significant article on software reusability. It was first presented in October 1968. To my knowledge, Doug McIlroy still works for AT&T in New Jersey. - Jim Neighbors's doctoral thesis [Neighbors, 1980]: This is probably the first significant discussion of domain analysis, and is frequently cited. There are many, many software reusability references. If you have some favorite references, please let me know, and I'll update the list. -- Ed Berard ------------------------------------------ [Adelson and Soloway, 1985]. B. Adelson and E.
