Incorporating information of value in a component repository to support a component marketplace infrastructure
Rodrigo Pereira dos Santos, Cláudia Maria Lima Werner, Marlon Alves da Silva · 2009
One of the most popular approaches to work with software reuse is component-based software engineering (CBSE). Despite a strategic importance in the global economy and the existent component repositories, the promised benefits of CBSE could not be broadly evaluated until now due to the lack of mature and well-established component marketplaces. Moreover, to create and maintain these markets, historical data and value considerations can be strategies to investigate. This paper proposes a value-based approach to address these strategies, Brecho-VCM, focusing on the stakeholders' value realization and on building a value chain.
