Abstract :
The COOR (Classification of Object Oriented Code for Reuse) environment exploits the advantages of OO code to promote software reuse, performing classification and analysis using a software descriptor method based on a fuzzy query language for component retrieval. Fuzzy weighting mechanisms highlight relevant features of components for reuse in specific industrial application domains.
