Reuse Center Implementation

Definition

Reuse center implementation is the subactivity consisting of the cohesive collection of all all tasks that are primarily performed to implement a single reuse center.

Goals

The goals of reuse center implementation are to:

• Acquire the reuse center’s individual components.
• Build the reuse center’s individual components.

Objectives

The objectives of reuse center implementation are to:

• Acquire any COTS components.
• Build the data center in accordance with the associated design.
• Create the content (data components) of the reuse center.
• Fabricate the customer special purpose hardware components in accordance with their associated design.
• Program the software components in accordance with the associated design and coding standards.
• Deliver the components to the integration team for deployment on the integration environment.

Examples

Examples of reuse center implementation include:

• Building an organizational reuse center
• Building a project reuse center

Preconditions

Reuse center implementation typically may begin when the following preconditions hold:

• The hardware development team is initially staffed and adequately trained in the relevant hardware implementation tasks.
• The software development team is initially staffed and adequately trained in the relevant software implementation tasks.

Completion Criteria

Reuse center implementation is typically complete when the following postconditions hold:

• Initial content has been created.
• Hardware components have been fabricated or purchased.
• Software components have been implemented or purchased.

Tasks

Reuse center implementation typically involves the following producers performing the following implementation tasks:

• Hardware Development Team, which performs:
  • Acquisition
  • Fabrication
  • Implementation Reuse
• Software Development Team, which performs:
  • Acquisition
  • Data Generation
  • Implementation Reuse
  • Programming
  • Debugging
  • Software Internationalization

Environments

Reuse center implementation is typically performed using the following environment(s) and associated tools:

• Development Environments:
  • Configuration Management Tools
  • Content Management Systems
  • Database Management Systems
  • Documentation Tools
  • LowerCASE Tools
  • Metrics Tools
  • Multimedia Tools
  • Performance Tools
  • Security Tools
  • Storage Management Tools
  • System Administration Tools
  • Test Tools

Work Products

Reuse center implementation typically results in the production of the following implementation work products:

• Reuse Center (a.k.a., call center) including all associated:
  • Data Component
  • Software Component
  • Hardware Component

Phases

Reuse center implementation tasks are typically performed during the following phases:

• Business Strategy: Not Applicable
• Business Optimization: Not Applicable
• Initiation: Started
• Construction: Ongoing
• Delivery: Completed
• Usage: Not Applicable
• Retirement: Not Applicable

Guidelines

• This activity is documented using the typical configuration for large reuse centers. It is intended to be configured (i.e., instantiated, extended, and tailored) to meet the needs of specific reuse centers.
• The preconditions of this activity should be the union of the preconditions of its constituent tasks.
• The completion criteria for this activity should be the union of the postconditions of its constituent tasks.
