Description
Component-Based Software Engineering addresses the substantial research efforts taking place at SEI that focus on the development, deployment, operation, and evolution of component-based systems. The book explores many issues critical to component-based software engineering. It provides the reader with a foundation on which this approach to software development can be better understood, applied, and improved.
The text focuses on a number of vital themes that run throughout the work being carried out by the SEI. These themes identify the primary considerations in moving from a traditional development approach to a component-based approach; evaluating software components, assembling components within an appropriate software architecture, and introducing and evolving a component-based system.
