In component software, the independence of components is achieved by separating their interfaces from implementations. The interface definition of a component serves as the contr...
The rCOS modeler implements the requirements modelling phase of a model driven component-based software engineering process. Components are specified in rCOS, a relational calculus...
Abstract: Reuse of software entities such as components or Web services raise composition issues since, most of the time, they present mismatches in their interfaces. These mismatc...
Performance prediction methods for component-based software systems aim at supporting design decisions of software architects during early development stages. With the increased a...
The interface definition of a component in a distributed system forms the contract between the component itself and its neighbouring components regarding the use of its services....
