2. Fulfill identified gaps
- Fuzzy searching capability: Helps in acquiring a closely matching component and enhancing it (if it is open source) or wrapping it in the current component to add desired extra functionality.
3. Specify component specifications for tender
- Solution builder may publish a component specification for tender.
- Published component specification will give component producer information about what to build and why.
- If specified information is insufficient it may lead to a dialogue.
4. Use or reuse component specifications
- May choose to use the specification in our design.
- Component executable should be stockpiled for future solution assembly.
5. Use or reuse components
- Use component implementations when less structured or focused on application build phase.
- Problem: Large number of small components, used only if found
- Component management eases communication process between vendors and users and reusers.
