Abstract
Reuse in system development is a prevalent phenomenon. However, how reuse is applied varies widely. The Generalized Reuse Framework is a strategic reuse model for systems engineering management in product development that addresses both investment and leverage of reuse through two interrelated and interacting processes: Development with Reuse (DWR) and Development for Reuse (DFR). This chapter summarizes the latest development of this framework by providing the taxonomic definition of DWR and DFR and analyzing the decision processes for reuse as applied to incremental development and product line engineering. It also describes how the framework is applied to the revision of the Constructive Systems Engineering Cost Model (COSYSMO), a parametric cost estimating model for systems engineering. With use case scenarios, it illustrates the approach to apply the framework and to quantify the economic impact of reuse vis-à-vis investment strategies.
