Abstract

This paper presents a procedure which a company/an organization can follow in order to decide whether it should implement software reuse for a given application domain. The starting point for this decision procedure is a set of 121 reusability guidelines. The decision procedure essentially consists of estimating the effort necessary to develop and use Ada software components consistent with these guidelines. First, a domain architecture for the application domain should be identified and be detailed to such an extent that the cost for developing its components can be assessed without regarding reusability.
