We discuss some of the difficulties and significant issues that we need to consider when
developing a formal method for component-based software engineering. We argue that to …

The Rational Process supports component-based development, both in terms of
representation of component-based systems, using UML, and the actual workflow, ie …

Most existing software development processes, methods, and tools are weak in supporting
architecture modeling and component reuse. This paper introduces concepts and principles …

In the last decade, a large number of different software component models have been
developed, with different aims and using different principles and technologies. This has …

Component-based Development (CBD) is an important emerging topic in Software
Engineering, promising long sought after benefits like increased reuse and reduced time-to …

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 …

Developing and using various component forms as building blocks can significantly
enhance software-based system development and use, which is why both the academic and …

All engineering disciplines rely on standard components to design and build artifacts. The
key technical challenge in software engineering is to enable the adoption of such a model to …

Component-based software development is associated with a shift from statement-oriented
coding to system building by plugging together components. The idea is not new and some …

Software is rarely built completely from scratch. To a great extent, existing software
documents (source code, design documents, etc.) are copied and adapted to fit new …
