This paper discusses the concept of adaptability as a means for reaping the cost and schedule reduction benefits of reuse. Adaptability strives to implement the variability identified by domain analyses while managing the cost of implementation, extension, and use. The paper discusses a context for understanding different domain-specific reuse approches relative to adaptability and analyzes experience in designing and developing adaptable code. The experience is drawn from the ARPA Software…

Architecting for Domain Variability
TLDR
This paper addresses how domain analysis served to help create reusable achitectures and components in the development of a real-time embedded system and the approach to incorporating tailorability into these components is described.

Software Reuse: Methods, Models, and Costs
TLDR
This book covers cost models for reuse, certification of reusable components, and reuse-driven requirements engineeering-as well as a discussion on reuse in dynamic systems.
Reverse Inheritance : An Approach for Modeling Adaptation and Evolution of Applications
In order to facilitate adaptation, evolution, and software re-engineering of application which are written with an object-oriented language, we propose an approach bases on a reverse inheritance…
Software architecture adaptability: an NFR approach
TLDR
This paper adapts the NFR (Non-Functional Requirements) Framework and treats software adaptability requirement as a goal to be achieved during development and treats design alternatives, analysis of tradeoffs and rationalization of design decisions through this adaptation.

TLDR
A software reuse approach to show how industrial databases can be built rapidly is presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of such an approach, and the obtained product database template was extensively tested and found to be robust and effective in a variety of applications.
Fundamental Approaches to Software Engineering

TLDR
A personal view of the development of software engineering and its theoretical foundations is presented, the current state is assessed, and some unresolved problems are lists and directions of fruitful research are identified.
Evaluating tools to support component based software engineering
TLDR
A tools evaluation strategy is proposed that provides a qualitative list of important issues distilled from many years experience of making tool selection decisions that form the basis of a process for tool evaluations as required by higher levels of the SEI Capability Maturity Model.
Software as Learning: Quality Factors and Life-Cycle Revised
TLDR
Under the notion of incremental learning, a new factor, predictiveness, is introduced as the ability to foresee future changes in the specification, thereby reducing the number of revisions, and as a result, other quality factors are revised.
Survivability Architecture for Workflow Management Systems
TLDR
The work on increasing the survivability of the METEOR workflow management system is described and an architecture describing the main technologies that enable survivability in WfMS is defined.
