Software reuse in-the-small: automating group rewarding

Abstract In this paper we present a model-independent, multi-level, closed loop approach to software reuse that makes tuning of reuse systems mostly automatic, and includes a reward system for development of reusable components. The proposed techniques are shown to be suitable for development in-the-small by fixing some locally measured reuse coefficients for small teams.
