Abstract: Editor's Abstract: For the last seven years, Martin Griss and his colleagues have investigated how Hewlett-Packard can improve its software development process using systematic software reuse. Martin has worked as professor, research lab manager and industrial researcher. Marty Wosser has worked closely with Martin on software reuse for four years. In this column, they share some of what HP has learned about software reuse; this information can help you manage expectations about what software reuse can and cannot deliver. The column builds on the key messages of "Myths and truths about reuse," a talk delivered by Martin at the International Conference on Software Engineering in Sorrento last May. - Shari L. Pfleeger
