Component-based software engineering (CBSE) spans a range of technologies and engineering practices. Engineering practices for component-based systems (e.g., design, integrate, test, deploy and sustain) are emerging, but in isolated settings rather than at a community level. The goal of this workshop is to provide a baseline understanding of the broad aspects of CBSE processes.
