The reusability measurement model should satisfy the following conditions : 1) can insert and delete metrics and components easily, 2) can compare and evaluate components quantitatively on the basis of validation, 3) don't require certain preassumed knowledge, and 4) can compute significance of each measurement attribute objectively. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a new reusability measurement model that can satisfy the above requirements. Our model selects the appropriate measurement attributes and calculates the relative significance of them by using rough set. Then, in order to measure the reusability of component, it integrates the significance of attributes and the measured value of them by using fuzzy integral. Finally, we apply our model to the reusability measurement of the function-oriented components and validate our model through statistical technique.

Product line engineering (PLE) is a new effective approach to software reuse, where applications are generated by instantiating a core asset which is a large-grained reuse unit. Hence, a core asset is a key element of PLE, and therefore the reusability of the core asset largely determines the success of PLE projects. A tore asset is a reusable part not a whole system, and supports not only variable functions but also common functions. However, there are limitations to evaluate reusability of core asset that has these unique characteristics. This paper proposes a comprehensive quality system for evaluating the reusability of core assets, based on ISO/IEC 9126. We first identify the key characteristics of core assets, and derive the set of quality attributes that characterizes the reusability of core assets. finally, we define metrics for each quality attribute. In addition, we provide guidelines for applying the metrics and perform a case study based on rental product line. Using the proposed quality system, reusability of core assets can be more effectively and correctly evaluated.

As it spreads to all industries of artificial intelligence technology, AIaaS equipped with artificial intelligence services is emerging. In particular, non-IT companies are suffering from the absence of software experts, difficulties in training big data models, and difficulties in collecting and analyzing various types of data. AIaaS makes it easier and more economical for users to build a system by providing various IT resources necessary for artificial intelligence software development as well as functions necessary for artificial intelligence software in the form of a service. Therefore, the supply and demand for such cloud-based AIaaS services will increase rapidly. However, the quality of services provided by AIaaS becomes an important factor in what is required as the supply and demand for AIaaS increases. However, research on a comprehensive and practical quality evaluation metric to measure this is currently insufficient. Therefore, in this paper, we develop and propose a usability, replacement, scalability, and publicity metric, which are the four metrics necessary for measuring reusability, based on implementation, convenience, efficiency, and accessibility, which are characteristics of AIaaS, for reusability evaluation among the service quality measurement factors of AIaaS. The proposed metrics can be used as a tool to predict how much services provided by AIaaS can be reused for potential users in the future.

Recently. component-based software development is getting accepted in industry as a new effective software development paradigm, Since an introduction of component-based software engineering(CBSE) at later 90's, the CBSD research has focused largely on component modeling, methodology, architecture and platform, However. as the number of components available on the market increases, it becomes more important to make metrics to measure the various characteristics of components. In this paper. we propose metrics for measuring the complexity, customizability, and resuability of software components, Complexity of metrics can be used to evaluate the complexity of components Customizability is used to measure how efficiently and widely the components can be customized for specific requirements organization, Resuability can be used to measure the degree of features that is reused in building applications.

Reusing software is a promising solution which overcomes the software crisis in the software development environment by improving the software productivity, reliability and maintainability. To develop software, some developers reuse existing softwares, but without an adequate design environment, software reuse would not be applicable. The purpose of this paper is to design and implement the X system, and measure empirically its resuability in the development phases. The development processes of the X system used a software reuse design guidelines within the Object-Oriented Design method and the Ada programming language. In order to measure the resuability, metrics was proposed and applied for each phase of development. The results of this paper address some reusability measurement that may be used as basic data when estimating the amount of reuse for a combined development project of military applications.

Today, the scale of the computer software market has increased, and massive sized software has been developed to satisfy diverse requirements. In this context, software complexity is increasing and the quality of software is becoming more difficult to manage. In particular, software reuse is important for the improvement of the environments of legacy systems and new system development. In this paper, we propose a method to reuse modules that are certified by quality. Reusable levels are divided into code area (method, class, and component), project domain, and business levels. Based on the coupling and cohesion of software complexity, we propose a reusable module extraction mechanism with reusability metrics, which constructs a visualization of the "reusable module's chunk" based on the method and class levels. By applying reverse engineering to legacy projects, it is possible to identify reusable modules/objects/chunks. If these modules/objects/chunks are to be reused to develop an extension system or similar new system, we need to ensure software reliability in order to reduce the time and cost of software development.

In a home network system, each customer electronic device has the control data format chosen by its manufacturing company and there are various types of digital devices and protocols. Besides the mutual operating environments among the various devices are dissimilar. Affected by the characteristics explained above, home network systems can hardly support the crucial functions, such as data compatibility, concurrency control, and dynamic plug-in. Thus, the home network system shows relatively poor reusability. In this paper, we suggest design technique of configurable framework, which can widely support the variability, to increase the reusability of the home network system. We extract the different parts of the home network system as variation points, and define them as the variability types. We design a structure of configurable framework, and suggest customization technique of configurable framework through selection technique and plug-in technique. Also, we prove the reusability by applying the proposed framework and it methods to real-world home network systems and analyzing the measurement results of these case studies using software metrics. We can expect the proposed approach provides better reusability than the existing them by analyzing those measurement results.

The increasing complexity and shorter life cycle of software have made it necessary to reuse software. Object-oriented development had not provided extensive reuse and computing infrastructures are evolving from mainframe to distributed environments. However, components provide more advanced means of structuring, describing and developing system, because they are more coarse-grained and have more domain-specific aspects than objects. And they are also suited for distributed environment due to their reusability and granularity. In this paper, we present a process including the static metrics and guidelines that can be applied to transform object-oriented systems into component-based systems. Our process consists of two parts: First, basic components are created based upon composition and inheritance relationships between classes. Second, intermediate system is refined into component-based system with the static metrics and guidelines we propose.
