This Software Reuse Strategy document describes software reuse as a powerful concept. The value of this approach has been demonstrated in many other engineering disciplines, where the use of standard concepts, processes, and components allows prior accomplishments to be leveraged and speeds innovation for future systems. At this point, many different techniques, which support reuse, are being implemented. This document provides the focus under which these efforts will continue, lessons-learned will be collected, and experiences shared. Taken together, the ten strategic steps will bring about the cultural change necessary to make software reuse effective.
