Towards contextual information based-approach to support software reuse system

In the last decades, various storage and retrieval systems have been introduced to help the user find the relevant information for which he/she seeks. The very recent trend is the integration of the contextual information. This technique has gained popularity in various fields, such as e-learning, ubiquitous computing, and artificial intelligent, but hardly exploited in software reuse where the storage and retrieval of reusable software constitute a critical issue. In this paper, we advocate that the integration of contextual information in software reuse systems can also render the retrieval of reusable software ldquointelligentrdquo and lead to a powerful solution. Such intelligent system is proposed and described below.
