Architecture description languages (ADL) describe systems as a collection of components
that interact with each other using connectors. They define components explicitly, however …

Software architecture (SA) provides a formal basis to describe and analyze a software
system as a collection of components and their interactions (connectors). However, the …

Object-oriented architecture (OOA), component-based architecture (CBA), and service-
based architecture (SBA) represent three technical architecture paradigms in current …

The aim of the paper is to present the results of research into component based software
development by providing a specification mechanism allowing searching for components in …

In component-based software engineering research, much effort has gone into developing
specification techniques for software components. There exist many software component …

In an effort to manage increasing complexity and to maximise the reuse of code, the software
engineering community has recently put a considerable effort into the design and …

Component based software development places an emphasis on identifying and managing
interdependencies among preexisting pieces of software in order to integrate them into new …

The paper introduces Jade Bird Component Description Language (JBCDL) which is a part
of the Jade Bird Component Library (JBCL). JBCDL is based on the Jade Bird Component …

Realizing a shift of software engineering towards a component based approach to software
development requires the development of higher level programming systems supporting the …

Component-based development has become an important area in the software engineering
field. In spite of this, there has been little effort to understand and to manage the different …
