Reuse has proved to be an elusive goal in software development organizations. Many language constructs and design principles have been introduced with the hope of creating just the appropriate abstraction that will support the creation of reusable software. None of these efforts have achieved sufficient magnitude to contribute significant cost savings. Recent industrial experience and research has shown that previous efforts have been too narrowly focused. This has led to techniques that take a comprehensive organizational approach to achieve strategic levels of reuse. These techniques can and are being applied to the verification and validation in modeling and simulation organizations.
