The approach presented offers a design methodology for efficient reuse that is based on a Reuse Management System (RMS) and a detailed analysis of component reuse. After the presentation of the current level of work being done in this field, RMS is introduced and a basic model is shown to describe fundamental mechanisms before design for reuse techniques can be introduced. In contrast to conventional reuse approaches, which are restricted to specific support, this new approach bridges the gap between design and reuse integration. The new methodology incorporates RMS requirements and it achieves several initial targets requested for a powerful system to provide comprehensive reuse. Based on the object-oriented internal data model and the sketched architecture, easy access via common Internet services is offered, and therefore, quick access to reuse data is possible. In summary, the approach helps to reduce long term development costs, and therefore, it is an innovative way to reach the objectives of efficient cost management.
