Abstract
An approach for supporting reuse in object-oriented Information System conceptual design is presented. Reusable components are introduced as generic object classes with associated guidelines providing suggestions for their adaptation and tailoring in given contexts. Reusable components are derived from the analysis of similar object classes. Affinity criteria to classify object classes are presented, based on structural and contextual properties.
