Feature Vector Based Component Clustering for Software Reuse

Abstract

Software reuse is concerned about the possibility of reusability of software components. It is important to think about ways, methods and approaches for extracting knowledge from software components. Knowledge mining from software components has various practical applications that range from software reuse to financial applications. This paper proposes a similarity measure for similarity computation between software components by extending our previous research. The proposed measure is used to perform component clustering. Software component clustering facilitates software reusability and software segmentation.
