(My apologies to those in the local news group, I have been
 having troubles posting beyond the local group. Hopefully, this
 will get out. )

I am a graduate student and am preparing a paper on reuse engineering.
As part of this paper, I am collecting information on reuse metrics.
I've found a few references, but, I am looking for more.

I'm interested in the whole gambit of metrics which might be out there.
I am not concentrating solely on software code reuse.  Any metric
concerning reuse of "artifacts" within the software process, i.e.
analysis, design, code, etc.  Whether identifying reuse potential
a priori or estimating cost of development, I would be interested.

Both published references and personal/organizational experience would
be appreciated.

If there is enough interest, I will consolidate and post input sent to me.


Thank you, in advance, for your time.
