Information Systems Frontiers (ISF) - Springer
------------------------------------------------------------

Contemporary software development is facing new challenges due to mobility
and IT ubiquity. Innovative approaches, based on reuse, are needed to avoid
the redesign and implementation of software solutions. They call for
reusable information through reusable components, patterns, designs, tests,
etc. They play a pivotal role in the capture, representation, maintenance,
integration, validation, and extrapolation of information; and, apply both
information and knowledge for enhancing decision-making in various
application domains. Special attention is given to non-functional
properties, such as performance or security, involving intensive reuse.
Formal methods are needed to provide a foundation upon which reuse and
integration may be built. The special issue on Foundations of Reuse calls
for scientific contributions as well as those detailing practical and/or
industrial experience in one or more of the following areas:

* Reuse in dimensionality reduction
* Reuse in domain transference and heuristic problem solving
* Reuse in knowledge discovery
* Reusable component-based software
* Reuse in VLSI hardware design
* Reuse in Systems of Systems
* Reuse in cyber security
* Theory of information reuse and integration
