Dependability certification of software components
Journal of Systems and Software, 2000Software components need a uniform approach for rating their quality. The need for this stems from a licensee's inaccessibility to the source code as well as other information concerning how thoroughly the component was validated. This paper proposes a `test quality rating' (TQR) metric that will act as a component's dependability `score'.

Model for fusion of software components
Companion Proceedings of the 15th International Conference on Modularity, 2016Current applications, especially those that cannot stop their execution, such as banking systems, airport management, and critical mission environments, among others, require of suitable mechanisms to respond immediately and automatically to constant changes of the execution environment and user requirements. In response to such issues, self-adaptation

Intelligent monitoring of software components
2012 First International Workshop on Realizing AI Synergies in Software Engineering (RAISE), 2012We propose to use Artificial Intelligence techniques to monitor and control complex processing chains of software components. We consider software systems that run in an evolving environment and thus may require adaptation at run time. Our approach relies on knowledge representations of both structural and dynamic aspects of components and processing ...

Specification matching of software components
ACM SIGSOFT Software Engineering Notes, 1995Specification matching is a way to compare two software components, based on descriptions of the component's behaviors. In the context of software reuse and library retrieval, it can help determine whether one component can be substituted for another or how one can be modified to fit the requirements of the other.

Component-based software engineering (CBSE) has rapidly gained currency over recent years. Software developed as components and as assemblies of components has realised the reuse slogan originally associated with object-oriented design. In this chapter we define what software components are along with their different characteristics and classifications.

The quest for software components quality
Proceedings 26th Annual International Computer Software and Applications, 2003Component based software development is becoming more generalized, representing a considerable market for the software industry. The perspective of reduced development costs and shorter life cycles acts as a motivation for this expansion. However, several technical issues remain unsolved before the software components industry reaches the maturity ...

Building Software Agents from Software Components
2004The widespread use of the Internet has favored the development of distributed multi-agent systems. The development of agent-based applications is carried out with Agent-Oriented Software Engineering methods, techniques and tools. Although there are several different platforms and methodologies for software agents design, the lack of flexible agent ...

On the retrieval of reusable software components
[1993] Proceedings Advances in Software Reuse, 2002Starting from the principle of software reusability through formal specifications, the authors suggest a model for the retrieval of reusable components utilizing the search techniques in database management systems. The formal specification language of software components is ASL.

ON SPECIFICATION OF REUSABLE SOFTWARE COMPONENTS
International Journal of Software Engineering and Knowledge Engineering, 1993For widespread reuse in a component-based software industry, a component must be designed and developed to be reused. Benefits of reuse are maximized when a component is reused “as is” (possibly with provisions for expected customization, such as through parameters), based only on its specification.

Security Properties of Software Components
1999This paper classifies security properties of software components into two broad categories: (1) non-functional security (NFS) properties, and (2) properties as security function (SF). Non-functional security properties are codified and embedded with the component functionality, whereas, properties as security functions are employed as external ...
