Panel at the ICSR´94: Reuse in Asia

Several vital software reuse activities have been undertaken by key researchers and practitioners from Asian industries, professional societies, government sponsored projects, and academia. Industrial software reuse activities are driving forces which bring about reuse technological breakthrough. The object-oriented principle is one which has been adopted by many practitioners. Some of the issues involved are how platform-independent, domain-specific components can be provided, how the reuser can easily retrieve the right artifact from multi-libraries, how easily the reuser can reuse several different LOA artifacts in building an entire system in a coherent way, and so on. Another point of debate is which activity has priority, technical transfer or further innovative research
