Software component reusability measure in component grid

This research paper is a product of discussion about measuring reusability of software components, pieces of reusable software, in a system called component grid. This research paper consists of four parts. First, three different cases of component reuse are explained. Second, elements that should be considered to measure reusability in component grid are discussed. Third, component reusability metrics that already exist are introduced. Finally, the paper will discuss about a new method to measure component reusability in component grid.
