Software Reuse; Caught between strategic importance and practical feasibility

abstract Worldwide the belief is shared that software reuse is needed to cope with the ever increasing amount of software. Software reuse is one part of addressing the amount of software, which is often overhyped and underestimated. Reuse of software is discussed via 8 statements, addressing: the need for reuse, the technical and organizational challenges, integration issues, evolution, reuse of know how, focus on the bussiness and customer and validation.
