Abstract
The present invention provides a component reuse method for reusing at least first component that is selected from a first software system to a second software system. The method comprises the steps of: analyzing the first software system, determining dependencies of the at least one first component of the first software system and acquiring relevant interface information; generating surrogates based on the dependencies and the interface information, which will be deployed in the first operating environment and in the second operating environment respectively, wherein the surrogates allow the second software system to invoke service provided by the at least one first component in the first operating environment and allow the at least one first component to invoke relevant service provided in the second software system.
