Renata Project: Software Reuse Projects

RESOLVE

This is work done by the Reusable Software Research Group in the Computer and Information Science deaprtment at The Ohio State University.

Open Implementation Home Page

Gregor Kiczales' group at Xerox PARC looking at how to allow clients of module to adjust the implementation to better suit their needs, thus making the module more reusable.

Software Systems Generator Research Group

Don Batory's group at the Department of Computer Sciences, University of Texas at Austin. Our main interest is the code generation work they are doing (Predator, GenVoca).

Demeter's WWW Home

Karl Lieberherr's group at College of Computer Science, Northeastern University, working on adaptive software.

Software Composition Group

Oscar Nierstrasz's group in the Institute of Computer Science and Applied Mathematics at University of Bern, doing research into the use of object technology and related approaches for the development of flexible, open software systems.

RICOT

The International Research Initiative on Compositional Object Technology aims at providing composable object-oriented techniques for developing large and complex software systems. Initiated by Mehmet Aksit, and the board of directors include Oscar Nierstrasz and Karl Lieberherr.

SOFTWARE OPTIMIZATION AND REUSE TECHNOLOGY (SORT)

NASA has realized, as an agency, to successfully utilize software reuse technology there must be a focused effort. An effort that involves both the institutionalization of software reuse technology within NASA as well as the identification and quantification of reusable assets. The Software Optimization and Reuse Technology (SORT) program is that focused effort. SORT is the vehicle to achieve and apply the vision of software reuse technology to selected NASA technical centers. The SORT program will assist the various NASA technical centers in order to nurture the development of reuse knowledge, techniques and their adoption. This effort will leverage previous and on-going work performed by both NASA and the DoD in the areas of systematic software reuse.
