Abstract :
We investigate the impact of human cognition on developers´ ability to effectively reuse software artefacts. We look at the cognitive impediments to and furtherance of software reuse. We review the computing models of human knowledge and reasoning which may assist in the emulation of our abilities to reuse software. Finally we investigate the possibility of integrating human and machine capabilities to arrive at the efficient method of software reuse
