The primary purpose of the Journal of Software Reuse (IJSR) is to publish peer-reviewed research papers of archival value, which advances the understanding and practice of design for reuse, design reuse, generate reuse of common components for as many domains as possible, Software variability management, Aspect-oriented software reuse; Automated software engineering; Software generators and domain-specific languages that guarantee wide reuse of the same artifacts; Software product lines, software product families, and domain engineering; Component-based software engineering using Java Beans, DCOM, and others; Pattern-based software reuse; Evolution of component-based software systems; Lightweight approaches to software reuse; Managing the transition towards a reuse organization; Legal, managerial, and economic issues of software development with reuse; Benefit and risk analysis of reuse investments; Reuse in the e-commerce context: how to address fast-evolving markets; Generation of non-code artifacts; Testing of components and generators; Quality aspects of reuse, e.g. security and reliability; Success and failure stories of reuse approaches from industrial context;  Cost Models for Software Reuse; Empirical Studies in Software Reuse;  Quality Attributes for Reusable Architectures; Reference Architectures; Software Reuse Environments; Software Reuse Process Adaptation; Software Reuse Metrics;  Software Reuse for Embedded Systems; Variability in Software Reuse; Engines, frameworks and models for reuse; Reuse libraries;  Reuse education and training;  Transformers, and any of the topics in the keywords at: http://www.ijsr.org/keywords The IJSR will accept a wide range of original, unpublished materials from all prospective authors.

The IJSR will be published in an electronic form over web, rather than in print form. Floating an e journal will not only save money, but also allow us to publish articles of any length.  Consequently, authors can send us articles of any length, but with a high quality tag. All articles submitted must be concise and well documented. Verbose articles are liable to be returned for further revision by the author (Please check the Paper Category --  http://www.ijsr.org/paper-category)

The IJSR Editors, Editorial Board Members, Reviewers, and Staff are committed to work closely with the author to get their papers to the level to be accepted.  We value each submission. The IJSR will provide coaching in writing if needed.  A coaching process will be posted soon.
