Experiences of Generating COTS Components when Automating Medicinal Product Evaluations

چکیده
This paper reports on experiences of generating COTS components when designing and deploying component based software architecture for automation and interoperation of medicinal product evaluations across different countries in the world. Our generic architectural model renders two sets of software components that are candidates for COTS components. We identify which role such COTS components may play and outline our approach of generating them. We advocate that such COTS components are developed with a specific component platform in mind and must adhere to constraints of our software architecture.

Automating Integration of Heterogeneous COTS Components
Mismatches make COTS components difficult to be incorporated. In this paper, an approach is presented to eliminate mismatches among COTS components, which can truly consider COTS components as black boxes. In the approach, only the assembly description of components is required, based on which adaptors for resolving mismatches can be generated automatically. This paper also described an agent-b...
متن کاملAdapting COTS Products The Fine Line between Development and Maintenance
COTS products can play various architectural roles in software systems: as interfaces to problem-specific functionality, as components that provide such functionality itself, and as intermediary connectors and components in more complex systems. In doing so, COTS products impose their own, unique constraints on organization and functionality. Over the last ten years, we have gained considerable...
متن کاملChanges in the Requirements Engineering Processes for COTS-Based Systems
As COTS products (hardware, software, components, subsystems, etc) are considered for integration into ever more complex systems, some process changes need to be considered in the area of Requirements Development. In systems that relied primarily on custom developed subsystems, it was entirely appropriate to development the majority of requirements, at all levels, before the construction of sub...
متن کاملA Model for Certifying COTS Components for Product Lines
1 An extended version of this paper will appear in the proceedings of the First Software Product Line Conference, Denver, Colorado, August, 2000 Abstract Specialized forms of software reuse, such as Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (COTS) based development and product line engineering (PLE), have a great deal of potential in practice. Using COTS components in developing product lines can streamline the...
متن کاملRigorous Evaluation of COTS Middleware Technology
M iddleware refers to a broad class of software infrastructure technologies that use high-level abstractions to simplify construction of distributed systems. Over the past decade, the adoption of commercial off-the-shelf middleware products across the software industry has gathered significant momentum. COTS products make it possible to deploy application components in high-performance, scalabl...
