Abstract :
A methodological approach to the design-for-reuse process is presented. Reusability at the conceptual design level is considered, and tools for preparing reusable components to be exploited for designing applications not from scratch, but tailoring and adapting existing components are presented. Reusable components are defined as generic components with associated metacomponents providing guidelines for reuse in a given application
