CRE: A Systematic Method for COTS Components Selection
نویسندگان
چکیده
The market interest in developing reliable and stable products at shorter development time and reduced cost, has led to an increasing surge of interest in Component-Based Software Engineering. The success of these systems largely depends on the effective selection of components that meet users requirements. In this context, the products evaluation needs to be a simultaneous process with the requirements acquisition. This paper presents the CRE Method (COTS-Based Requirements Engineering), which is centered on requirements to assist the COTS selection process. The selection of medical packages is used as a case study.

Systematic Construction of Goal-Oriented COTS Taxonomies
The use of Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) components is becoming a strategic need because they offer the possibility to build systems at reduced costs and within shorter development time. Having efficient and reliable COTS components selection methods is a key issue not only for exploiting the potential benefits of this technology, but also for facing the problems and risks involved. Searching...
متن کاملCOTS-Aware Requirements Engineering and Software Architecting
At the heart of a well-disciplined, systematic methodology that explicitly supports the use of COTS components is a clearly defined process for effectively using components that meet the needs of the system under development. In this paper, we present the CARE/SA approach which supports the iterative matching, ranking, and selection of COTS components, using a representation of COTS components ...

Selecting Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (COTS) software components to fit requirements is still a problem because of the "black box" nature of COTS components and the rapid changes in marketplace. This paper describes the problems of COTS software evaluation and reviews existing frameworks to support COTS software evaluation and selection. Although a number of initiatives have been proposed to deal ...

Though new technological trends and paradigms arise for developing complex software systems, systematic reuse continues to be an elusive goal. In this context, the adoption of Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) technologies introduces many challenges that still have not been fully overcome, such as the lack of comprehensive mechanisms to record and manage the required information for supporting CO...
