Abstract

In this paper we are interested in knowledge-based techniques (called program supervision) for managing the re-use of a modular set of programs. The focus of this paper is to analyse which re-use problems program supervision techniques can solve. First a general definition for program supervision and a knowledge representation model are proposed. Then an analysis is presented in terms of the structure of the programs to re-use and in terms of the effort for building a program supervision knowledge base. This paper concludes with what program supervision can do for program re-use from the points of view of the code developers, the experts, and the end-users.
