Overview

With the rapid development of computing hardware, high-speed network, web programming, distributed and parallel computing, and other technologies, cloud computing has recently emerged as a commercial reality. Software Reuse in the Emerging Cloud Computing Era targets a spectrum of readers, including researcher, practitioners, educators, and students and even part of the end users in software engineering, computing, networks and distributed systems, and information systems. The handbook will help to clarify the present fast-advancing literature of the current state of art and knowledge in the areas of the development and reuse of reusable assets in emerging software systems and applications, as part of the information science and technology literature. It will no doubt expand the above literature, and promote the exchange and evolution of the above advances in software reuse and cloud computing among multiple disciplines, and a wide spectrum of research, industry, and user communities.
