Ed Berard's discourse on reusability has inspired me
to share my thought that there is a need for Software
Component Engineers, a job function analogous to the
time honored profession of Hardware Component Engineer.
   A friend of mine was head of component engineering at
a major computer company. He had about 15 engineers working
for him. One engineer was in charge of crystal
oscillators another in charge of certain types of
integrated circuits.
   I believe that as the software industry grows it will reach
a level where large companies have a software components
engineering group with e.g.: one engineer responsible
for DBMS's another for ARTE's, another for scientific
routines etc.
