The NASA Earth Science Data Systems Software Reuse Working Group is
conducting a software reuse survey
(http://softwarereuse.nasa.gov/survey) to (1) learn about the Earth
science community's needs for reusable software components (and other
software development artifacts), (2) identify software artifacts that
are already being reused within the community, and (3) identify existing
patterns of software reuse.
Your name has been selected because of your association with that
community. Your participation in this survey is appreciated as it will
help us to better understand the reuse needs of the Earth science
community and to propose solutions that can best fit those needs. Such
solutions will enable members of the community to more easily share,
publish and locate reusable components of interest. By facilitating
reuse within the Earth science community, the working group is seeking
to help you reduce system development costs, gain greater visibility for
your work within the community, and more efficiently share resources
across projects.
On average, the survey takes about 20 minutes to complete. In addition
to submitting your own response, it would be valuable to the reuse
working group if you can also forward the survey to other members of
your development team who are involved in system architecture and/or
influence decisions on selection of system components.
The information collected will only be used by the reuse working group
for the purposes described above. Individual responses will not be
distributed to other entities without prior approval from respondents.
Results will only be published in aggregate form and will be made
available at http://softwarereuse.nasa.gov/
The NASA Earth Science Data Systems Software Reuse Working Group is
chartered to address technical issues required to enable and facilitate
reuse of software assets within the Earth science community. More
