Abstract
This current research program on software reuse is investigating library tools fordescribing,classifying,cataloging, organizing and managing Ada reusable software components. The major research results are the development and prototyping of classification methods and the evaluation of library tools for software reuse generally, and Ada components for management information systems specifically. The prototype system integrates the Faceted Classification Scheme (FCS) and conceptual closeness maps. Future research areas include the development of tools for reusable components libraries and expert systems for software development with natural language interfaces.
