In this article the author states two chronic problems the software industry must solve for component reuse to be fully realized. Reusable Asset Specification (RAS) is also discussed which focuses on classification, content, and usage of software assets. Author(s) : Paul Allen...   Read Article.

Object-oriented (OO) classes are generally not reusable because they are not meaningful in isolation; most classes only have meaning as members of cooperating suites of classes (e.g., design patterns). These suites usually arise in designs, but rarely exist as encapsulated entities in OO implementations. In this paper the authors present a method...   Read Article.

Using existing components to construct software systems has significant potential to improving software productivity and quality. A key problem in software component reuse is the selection of appropriate components for satisfying a given requirement. In this paper, the authors define a component interface generality relation that provides a foundation...   Read Article.

Web application development suffers increasingly from the coarse-grained implementation model of the Web, as established software design concepts are hardly applicable to it. The object-oriented WebComposition Markup Language (WCML) addresses these problems with a fine-grained component-based model and thus supports the application of software engineering...   Read Article.

Repositories for software reuse are faced with two interrelated problems: acquiring the knowledge to initially construct the repository, and modifying the repository to meet the evolving and dynamic needs of software development organizations. This paper outlines an approach that avoids these problems by choosing a retrieval method that utilizes...   Read Article.

In this paper the authors clarify the following dimensions of component-related issues: component blueprint versus component instance, internal (has) versus external visible (gives) component characteristics, and mandatory versus recommended versus optional component characteristics. Then the authors categorize component characteristics. Author(s)...   Read Article.

The purpose of this document is to describe a number of guidelines for component identification, component-based development (CBD), component composition and component decomposition. These guidelines are aimed at a component-based development process for real-time embedded software systems. Author(s) : Information Technology for European Advancement...   Read Article.

As the properties of components have gradually become clearer, attention has started to turn to the architectural issues which govern their interaction and composition. In this paper the authors identify some of the major architectural questions affecting component-based software development and describe the predominant architectural dimensions....   Read Article.

This paper discusses Java components in the following contents: overview of Java and Java components, drivers for component-based development, evaluating Java component vendors, and Sitraka JClass Components. Author(s) : Sitraka...   Read Article.

The primary role of component-based software engineering is to address the development of systems as an assembly of parts (components), the development of parts as reusable entities, and the maintenance and upgrading of systems by customizing and replacing such parts. This requires established methodologies and tool support covering the entire component...   Read Article.

It is widely recognized now that OMG needs serious reconsideration of the middleware architecture to be used as a basis for component ware. Current OMA release was very good for the beginning, for the core interoperation modeling. Deficiencies of the current strategy for making systems with reuse are well known. To show that situation with the proper...   Read Article.

This slide presentation on component-based development outlines the following topics: a brief history of applications, generations of the internet "i's" and "e's" , nomads and pervasive computing, miniaturization and form factors, make the customer the focus, what is a component, software components, component characteristics, in short a...   Read Article.

In this article the author discusses component-based development, specifically, what the components are, what can be expected from it, what is needed to apply components, and problems arising from applying components. Author(s) : M. Huizing...   Read Article.

This slide presentation on component-based development covers the following topics: what are the components, components and services, separation of the what from the now, example of an initial application/component architecture, system context model, type specification model, need to refine the type specification, assessment action decomposition,...   Read Article.

System evolution, maintenance, migration and compatibilities are some of the challenges met with when developing a component-based software system. In this paper the authors discuss the issues and challenges encountered when developing and using an evolving component-based software system. An industrial control system has been used as a case study....   Read Article.
