Abstract
Current trends in software development enforce the reuse of components allowing us to reduce cost, development times, complexity and, at the same time, increasing the product quality. This is especially true for the KBS, where the cost, times and complexity usually make this technology too risky. PSMs provides us with a way to simplify the development process of KBS with structures and methods that have been previously tested on similar systems. This paper describe our experience on reusing PSM over four different domains.
