Rapid prototyping with automated retrieval of reusable software components is a software development method to construct software systems expeditiously. This thesis describes a tool to enhance the practice of software reuse within the Computer Aided Prototyping System (CAPS). A software base interface provides prototype designers with the means to retrieve components and integrate them into new applications. Reusable components are retrieved from the software base using a formal specification as the search key or through a browser. The specification language used is the Prototype System Description Language (PSDL). The software base stores the reusable components in an object oriented database management system (ONTOS) with an appropriate PSDL specification. Following a query conducted by the PSDL specification, chosen retrieved components are transformed and integrated to the system under development. All software base procedures, including the storage, retrieval, and integration of the components, are conducted through a graphical user interface which is designed to demonstrate and manipulate available software base operations.

The Computer Aided Prototyping System (CAPS) software base contains software components described by formal specifications written in the Prototype System Description Language (PSDL). One problem addressed by this thesis is to develop a retrieval mechanism for extracting components that match user-provided PSDL specifications. Another problem addressed is the integration of a retrieved component into a software prototype. The approach taken was to match specifications by comparing operations and parameter types to include indirect subtype relations. Integrating a selected software base component required generating mappings to account for different operation and parameter orderings and, for generic components, automatic instantiation. The result was a tool which implements automated assistance for finding reusable components in a large software repository. Methods were developed for parameter and operator mapping, parameter type matching, and ensuring instantiation of a generic was possible. Upon receipt of a PSDL specification query, these methods are employed to automate the retrieval of all matching components and the integration of the selected component into the software prototype. This has been fully implemented for operator components and partially implemented for type components. The retrieval mechanism, a potential processing bottleneck, is extremely accurate and reasonably fast. A query on 1,000 component repository retrieved all 50 possible matches in under 3 minutes.

The book provides a clear understanding of what software reuse is, where the problems are, what benefits to expect, the activities, and its different forms. The reader is also given an overview of what sofware components are, different kinds of components and compositions, a taxonomy thereof, and examples of successful component reuse. An introduction to software engineering and software process models is also provided.
