Engineering of component-based systems
A.W. Brown, K.C. Wallnan · 2002
Many organizations are moving toward greater use of commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) components in the development of application systems. The development of component based systems introduces fundamental changes in the way systems are acquired, integrated, deployed and evolved. We present a reference model for the assembly of component based systems that can be used as the basis for defining a systematic approach to the development of such systems. This reference model is described, and used to explore a number of fundamental development issues.
