Software reuse: a competitive advantage

Abstract

Companies are continually looking for ways to get products to the customer faster, while reducing product cost and delivering higher quality. Large scale software reuse is found to be an important factor in achieving these results. The authors focus on their approach to software reuse, the use of AT&T's RAPID/NM software platform to achieve reuse, and results in applying reuse in a wide range of software systems.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
