A Non-Functional Approach for COTS Components Trading
نویسندگان
چکیده
In CBSD, the possible benefits of COTS software development, such as low cost, low risk, and high quality, cannot be satisfactorily achieved due to inadequate and/or incomplete proposals for component specification. In particular, non-functional aspects play an important role for components description and selection, but are usually not taken into account when documenting components and searching for them. In this paper, non-functional features of commercial components are analyzed, and a template for collecting this kind of information in XML documents is proposed in order to allow effective COTS components trading.

Matching, Ranking, and Selecting Components: A COTS-Aware Requirements Engineering and Software Architecting Approach
At the heart of a well-disciplined, systematic methodology that explicitly supports the use of commercial off-the-shelf (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 that supports the iterative matching, ranking, and selection of COTS components. The components a...

Trading is a well-known mechanism for searching and locating services in object-oriented systems. However, current traders present some limitations when tried to be used in open component-based environments. In this paper we analyze the required features that COTS components traders should have, and describe the design and implementation of COTStrader, an Internet-based trader for COTS componen...
متن کاملAdding Behavior Description Support to COTS Components through the use of Aspects
Commercial off-the-shelf components (COTS Components) could benefit from techniques that support the addition of new features (be them functional or non-functional). This paper describes an aspectoriented approach to support improved modularization and to address the composition activity that will allow the addition of new features to COTS.
متن کاملOn the efficiency of domain-based COTS product selection method
Use of commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) products is becoming a popular software development method. Current methods of selecting COTS products involve using the intuition of software developers or use a direct assessment (DA) of the products. The former approach is subjective, whereas the latter approach is expensive. This high cost is because the efficiency of the DA approach is inversely propo...
