With the third meeting, the International Workshop series on Software
Reusability becomes a conference. As with the first two meetings, in 1991 in
Dortmund, Germany and in 1993 in Lucca Italy, the conference is meant to
bring together known researchers in software reusability from the
international community, and to provide an archival source for important
reuse papers. The conference is also meant to provide a source of information
and education on software reuse to practitioners, and to be an ongoing
platform for technology transfer.
Software reusability, the use of knowledge or artifacts from existing systems
to build new ones, is a key software engineering technology important both to
engineers and managers. Reuse research has been very active recently.
Many organizations have reported reuse successes, yet there is still no
comprehensive set of methods for achieving systematic reuse. There is a need
for reuse solutions that can be applied across domain and organization
boundaries.
Conference proceedings will be published by IEEE press. The conference will
consist of technical presentations, parallel working groups, plenary
sessions, demonstrations, and tutorials.
THEMES
The conference will address, but is not restricted to, the following principal
themes:
% Measurement of and experimentation with software reuse
% Reusable architecture
% Domain analysis methods and techniques: domain modeling;conceptual
modeling; knowledge acquisition
% Re-engineering for reuse
% Design of reusable software items including requirements, designs,
code, test cases and plans, logical structures, processes, etc.
% Generative approaches to reuse: executable specifications, code
generation, transformational approaches
% Software system generators and other generative approaches to reuse:
integration of reusable components; version control; methods and
techniques to modify, verify, test, and adapt reusable components
% Theoretical aspects of reuse: formal approaches to the reuse process,
formal models of components, verification and validation of
components and their composition
% Languages, methods, tools and environments: methods and tools that
support reuse, integrated reuse environments, methods and tools for
reusing artifacts and processes across the life cycle
% Reuse education; industrial, commercial, academic
% Organizational and management techniques for implementing reuse:
incentives, economic and financial techniques, asset acquisition,
measurement and experimentation, reliability models, human factors
% Reuse library methods: classification and cataloging, component
matching, library operation and performance, library usage, empirical
data on costs and benefits, evaluation methods for libraries
Working groups will be formed based on these themes.
INSTRUCTIONS TO AUTHORS
We are seeking full papers for this conference. Paper submissions should be
original and not under consideration for publication elsewhere. Submissions

contribution of the work in terms of its theoretical and practical value, and
how it is related to and builds on previous work. Special attention should be
given to providing empirical evidence for the work.
