Component-Based Software Development - A New Paradigm in Software Engineering?
Wolfgang Pree · 1997
This paper defines the relevant terms by relating them to the already wellestablished terms of object technology. In particular, the focus lies on a discussion of the deficiencies of the objectoriented paradigm and how componentware might solve these shortcomings. Furthermore, the role of objectoriented frameworks as underlying technology of plug & play software is illustrated. Finally, the paper tries t o answer the question of whether some enhancements of the object-oriented paradigm indeed represent the dawn of a new era of software development.
