A Fast Retrieval of Software Reusable Components Using Bit Map Index

By the component libraries scaling up and the reuse practice deepening, the efficiency management of component repository is the precondition of component reuse. It is favorable for component reuse that components are organized in library according to felicitous classification. On the basis of introducing the faceted classification, this paper presents a component classification model based on facet and bit map indexing, and experiment prove it in effect. The input is the attributes of the component; in this paper we are using three Attributes: language, Operating System, File Type. Based on these attributes we perform bit map indexing and retrieve the required component from the component library.
