Abstract :
Although software reuse repository systems have been an active research area for more than a decade, one important aspect has not been given enough attention: if software developers make no attempt to reuse, repository systems offer no help and reuse will not happen. Active information delivery, which presents information without being given explicit queries can motivate software developers to reuse. Critical challenges for active delivery systems are the contextualization of delivered information to the development task, and the adaptation of the information to each developer. This paper discusses how to address these challenges and demonstrates the feasibility of implementation through a prototype system.
