MASTER'S ESSAY PRESENTATION

                    -Wednesday, December 6, 1989

Mr.  A.  Scian,  graduate  student,  Dept.  of Computer
Science,   will   speak   on   ``Software   Reusability
Paradigms''.

TIME:                 1:30 p.m.

ROOM:                 DC 1331

ABSTRACT

Building upon the ideas and work of others to construct
something  new  and  unique  is  a  common theme in our
world.  Unfortunately, this ideal is not practised when
it  comes to developing software.  The idea of software
reusability  is to develop software without reinventing
the  wheel  each  time.   The  problems associated with
software  construction  will  be  examined along with a
study  of  other fields that deal with complexity.  The
similarities   and   differences   regarding   the  way
complexity  problems are handled gives rise to a set of
requirements  for software reusability.  A broad survey
of   current  research  in  software  reusability  will
highlight   the   progress   in  different  areas.   In
addition,  major  attempts  at reusing software will be
studied in depth.

The attempts at software reusability will be contrasted
against   the   set   of   requirements   for  software
reusability.   The  prospects  for software reusability
look  good  in the immediate future and it is hoped the
benefits can be realized by the software community.
