Component-Based Software Engineering

Conclusion

Operating systems provide:

an abstraction of the underlying handware

an execution environment

basic services for applications

Compoment models define standards for: Interface, Naming, Meta data, Interoperability, Customization, Composition, Evolution support, Packaging and deployment.

Component model implementation provides:

run-time environment

basic services

horizontal services that are useful across multile domains

vertical services providing functionality for a particular domain for software compoments
