....a clear understanding of the definition, purpose and objective of a taxonomy is in order. Accordingly, a taxonomy is a classification system where the classification scheme conforms to a systematic arrangement into groups or categories according to established criteria [31] Glass and Vessey [9] contend that taxonomies provide a set of unifying constructs so that the area of interest can be systemically described and aspects of relevance may be interpreted. The overarching goal of any taxonomy, therefore, is to supply some predictive value during the analysis of an unknown specimen, ....

....The process of finding classes is at least as important as the resulting classification. In our approach, the resulting classification is not intended to be complete or correct. The classification process gives a set of principles and themes, which may result in research issues for the field [3]. Our classification of COTS is intended to partition items into sets whose elements are comparable. Classes cannot be defined one time forever, but they are organization and goal specific. Classes can be defined by intuition, like the class of all DBMS, the class of all web browsers, etc. ....

....cannot be defined one time forever, but they are organization and goal specific. Classes can be defined by intuition, like the class of all DBMS, the class of all web browsers, etc. Several works deal with classification of commercial products; either proposing taxonomies of application domain [3] or defining a set of attributes, which define a Cartesian space used to characterize COTS products [2] 6] Other works deal with the problem of evaluating and selecting COTS products using a set of attributes [1] 4] 7] 9] The idea underlying our work is that attributes can be divided into ....

....measurement frameworks and so on. Therefore, iterations may be necessary in order to establish useful evaluations measurements. 3.2 Taxonomies There is generally a lack of taxonomies in computer science. A discussion of the characteristics and use of some of those that exist can be found in [8]. This section describes preliminary work on a software maintenance taxonomy; a detailed definition is an issue for follow up work. The motivation for such a taxonomy is to provide a means to obtain a better understanding of the potential change processes. In particular, we can inspect each kind ....

....special domains, wherein issues for dealing with legacy systems can be examined in depth, with the intent of abstracting these lessons later. Focusing on domain specific software engineering was resurfaced by Glass and Vessey as a possible way to gain breakthroughs in software engineering research. [5] One of these special domains under consideration is that of building virtual environments (VEs) Interconnected Virtual Environments (IVEs) are multi user distributed VEs. The key factor that differentiates IVEs from the rest of the distributed VEs is that they are made up of legacy VEs that ....
