One of the main objectives of developing component-based software systems is to enable efficient building of systems through the integration of components. All component models def...
Maintenance engineers need to understand component dependencies in a system to successfully modify component implementations. Interaction dependencies are especially hard to under...
To support rapid software evolution, it is desirable to construct software systems from reusable components. In this approach, the architecture of a system is described as a collec...
Abstract: Software clustering is an established approach to automatic architecture recovery. It groups components that are in some way similar to each other. Usually, the similarit...
Modeling the dependencies between provided and required services within a software component is necessary for several reasons, such as automated component adaptation and architectu...
