I would like to thank you all of those people who responded to my question
regarding a newsletter about software reuse.

For those who are interested in the answers, the following is the 
summary of the answers I received so far.


From Jim Kummer <kummer@pogo.den.mmc.com> :
-------------------------------------------

    There is a hardcopy newletter (which, for all I know, could be
    available in electronic form) from the "Reuse Working Group".
    Send inquiries to:
        Reuse Working Group Newsletter
        c/o EVB Software Engineering Inc.
        5303 Spectrum Drive, Suite F
        Fredrick, MD 21701
    The chairman of the group is Dennis M. Ahern 
    (dahern@wssmr-simtel20.army.mil).


From Hal Hawley (hawley@astars.ds.boeing.com):
----------------------------------------------

    There is a DARPA sponsored program named Software Technology for 
    Adaptable, Reliable Systems (STARS) and one of the major thrusts of the 
    program is software reuse.  STARS publishes a (hardcopy) newsletter about 3
    times a year.  The newsletter includes articles on software reuse
    as well as process and environments.  The Newsletter also includes 
    information on how to gain electronic access to a national software 
    repository called ASSET (Asset Source for Software Engineering Technology).

    You can get on the mailing list for the newsletter by emailing a
    request to anita@stars.rosslyn.unisys.com
    Be sure to include all the usual information (name, title, organization,
    address, phone, fax, email address).

From Brian Marick (marick@cs.uiuc.edu):

    Mitch Lubars (lubars@mcc.com) runs an MCC-oriented newsletter.
    I run a testing-oriented mailing list, if you're also interested in that.


From Ralph Johnson (johnson@cs.uiuc.edu):
-----------------------------------------

    There is a lot about software reuse in comp.object, but is is all
    mixed up with other stuff.  comp.components is supposed to be about
    software reuse, but it hasn't had any activity in months.



From Bob Crispen (crispen@foxy.boeing.com):
-------------------------------------------

    I assume you know about the Synthesis reuse methodology at the Software
    Productivity Consortium (facemire@software.org can cue you in -- I'm
    not sure whether your company has to be a member of the SPC or not).

    Brett Freemon and I will be presenting a reuse paper at I/ITSC this
    Fall talking about Synthesis in a flight simulation domain.
