Component-based development is a promising way to promote the productivity of large workflow systems development. This paper proposes a component-based workflow systems development approach by investigating the following notions, mechanisms, and methods: workflow component, workflow component composition, reuse–association relationship between workflow components, and workflow component reposit...

Component adaptation is widely recognised to be one of the crucial problems in Component-Based Software Engineering (CBSE). We present here a formal methodology for the soft adaptation of components presenting mismatching interaction behaviour. The notions of access rights (associating components with the services they are allowed to use) and subservicing (providing alternative services in plac...

We use the term component-based software deployment (CBSD) to refer to the process of deploying a software application in a component-based format. In this paper, we propose a formal conceptual framework for CBSD. This framework allows us to articulate various strategies for deploying component-based software. In addition, the framework permits us to express conditions under which various forms...

Spend your time even for only few minutes to read a book. Reading a book will never reduce and waste your time to be useless. Reading, for some people become a need that is to do every day such as spending time for eating. Now, what about you? Do you like to read a book? Now, we will show you a new book enPDFd model integrating software components engineering flexible software systems that can ...

As software systems become increasingly complex to build developers are turning more and more to integrating pre-built components from third party developers into their systems. This use of Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) software components in system construction presents new challenges to system architects and designers. This paper is an experience report that describes issues raised when int...

There is a push to develop feature-rich applications as collections of interconnected feature modules. The problem is that these modules are conceived as independent features, but when strung together, they may interfere with each other because they modify the same shared data (e.g., two features may inconsistently update variables that are encapsulated in a third module). We are studying how t...

A central problem in software maintenance is change propagation: given a set of primary changes that have been made to software, what additional secondary changes are needed? Although many approaches have been proposed, automated change propagation is still a significant technical challenge in software engineering. In this paper we report on an evaluation of an agent-based approach for change p...
