A component-based software system (CBSS) is a software system that is developed by
integrating components that have been deployed independently. In the last few years, many …

In this paper, we consider experiential evidences in support of a set of object-oriented
software metrics. In particular, we look at the object oriented design metrics of Chidamber …

The success of software development using third party components highly depends on the
ability to select a suitable component for the intended application. The evidence shows that …

Growing attention on component-based development has inspired the development of
several normative methods for selection of software components. Despite these efforts …

The selection of Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) components is currently a central activity
in the development of information systems. Criteria for selecting COTS components include …

The last decade marked the first real attempt to turn software development into engineering
through the concepts of Component-Based Software Development (CBSD) and Commercial …

The selection of COTS components is made not only by an analysis of their technical quality
but also (and sometimes mostly) by considering how they fulfill those non-technical …

Component-based software development (CBSD) has gained recognition as one of the key
technologies for the construction of high-quality, evolvable, large complex systems in a …

A form of design guidance is offered through a process that applies Axiomatic Design
Theory to Component-Orientation. Axiomatic Design has been proposed by Do and Suh for …

Component-based software development is becoming more generalized, representing a
considerable market for the software industry. The perspective of reduced development …
