A dedcated community of software engineering reserachers and practitioners have wrestled with the challenges of introducing systematic reuse in large-scale software development. Successful systematic reuse relies on a set of learning disciplines that can transform IT-intensive groups and companies into knowledge creating organizations. In this book, four experts with broad experience in reuse research, methods, technolgies, and practice present a unique approach to resuse assessment and adoption. LIBRA offers a radically new, inquiry-based approach, grounded in practical techniqus for assesssing an organization's readiness for reuse, as well as potential barriers. These techniques integrate reuse concepts with a diverse set of other disciplines, including organizational learning, dramatic theory, and belief mapping to affirm the critical role of culture, belief, and attitude in engineering success. LIBRA is essential reading for software project managers, strategic planners, CTOs and technology transfer agents, or working software engineers; and especially any advocate attempting to introduce reuse practices within an IT-intensive business setting. ; 9" Tall; 202 pages.

Binding and contents are almost like new. ; Glossy orange & purple cover is about the weight of posterboard. PAPER COVERS. Index. 64 figures in text. TECHNICAL. A dedcated community of software engineering reserachers and practitioners have wrestled with the challenges of introducing systematic reuse in large-scale software development. Successful systematic reuse relies on a set of learning disciplines that can transform IT-intensive groups and companies into knowledge creating organizations. In this book, four experts with broad experience in reuse research, methods, technolgies, and practice present a unique approach to resuse assessment and adoption. LIBRA offers a radically new, inquiry-based approach, grounded in practical techniqus for assesssing an organization's readiness for reuse, as well as potential barriers. These techniques integrate reuse concepts with a diverse set of other disciplines, including organizational learning, dramatic theory, and belief mapping to affirm the critical role of culture, belief, and attitude in engineering success. LIBRA is essential reading for software project managers, strategic planners, CTOs and technology transfer agents, or working software engineers; and especially any advocate attempting to introduce reuse practices within an IT-intensive business setting. ; 9" Tall; 202 pages.
