Abstract
It is a challenge to reuse existing software at a high level of granularity across different domains. Inspired by product placement for advertising in markets, where a movie can be “reused” for advertising without losing the function of the movie, this paper proposes a new paradigm for software reuse: “reuse by placement”. This concept is illustrated in this paper using serious games. A framework based on virtual interactions is presented to provide dynamic placement points with reusable services to facilitate implanting new requirements intoop games in educational and human computation domains.
