Software components and reuse: getting more out of your code

Abstract Software reuse is becoming an important factor to meet user demand. A UK company specializing in CAE products conducted a requirements analysis for its products. This led to a need to have more control over the building of software. A procedure call paradigm for interfaces was used, with rigid standards for naming conventions. The paper also discusses the Advisory Council for Applied Research and Development (ACARD) proposals on software reuse.
