Abstract
An empirical study to identify standardizable small-scale software components from existing source code is described. The rationale for such an effort is presented, followed by a description of the specific study performed by the author. Component identification methods are presented along with preliminary findings. Future identification efforts and possible notational schemes are also discussed.
