Software development by component integration is the mainstream for time-to-market and is the solution for overcoming the short lifecycle of software. Therefore, the effective techniques for component integration have been working. However, the systematic and practical technique has not been proposed. One of main issues for component integration is how to specify integration and the component architecture for operating the specification, in this paper, we propose a workflow variability design technique for component integration, This technique focuses on designing to a connection contract based on the component architecture. The connection contract is designed to use the provided interface of component and the architecture can assemble and customize components by the connection contract dynamically.

To improve reusability and adaptation of variable components, rule-based component development has been used. Rule engines usually need additional script languages for rule expression and have difficulty in expressing complex business rules. In this paper, we propose a compiler-based rule engine for rich rule expression and improving performance. This rule engine uses Java programming language to express conditions and action parts of rules and that it can easily express complex business rules. It creates and executes condition and action objects at run time. In view of Performance, the rule engine is better than a script based rule engine. According to our experiments, our compiler-based nile engine shows 2.5 times better performance that script-based JSR 94 rule engine.

One of the important applications for business-to-business electronic commerce is in procurement and inventory management using electronic data interchange(EDI). Using online catalogs and approved supplier lists, firms can easily create requisitions and purchasing documents. The emerging trend in EDI technology is changed from VAN(Value Added Network) based EDI to XML based EDI. This paper intends to suggest a component-based XML/EDI system using Unified Modeling Language(UML), as an application system for automobile part industry. Applying component based XML/EDI systems designed with UML methodology, we analyzed the workflow and the document on procurement process between trading partners and implemented a prototype of efficient XML/EDI system, as a surrogate of existing VAN/EDI. The result of applying object-oriented CBD(Component Based Development) technique is to minimize the risk of life cycle and facilitate the reuse of software as mentioned to limitation of information engineering methodology. It enables the interoperability with corporate legacy systems such as ERP(Enterprise Resource Planning), SCM(Supply Chain Management). This system proposes a solution to apply analysis phase and design phase in implementation of XML/EDI system. The implementation of XML/EDI system using CBD shows the ease of use in software reuse and the interoperability with corporate internal information system. The purchasing department with XML/EDI system can electronically communicate purchase orders, delivery schedules to external suppliers and interoperate with other application systems.

In the testing of a software component-based robot system, generating test cases for the system is a time-consuming and difficult task that requires the combining of test data. This paper proposes an adaptive combinatorial testing method which is based on the input/output relationship among components and which automatically generates the test cases for the system. The proposed algorithm first generates an input/output relationship graph in order to analyze the input/output relationship of the system. It then generates the reduced set of test cases according to the analyzed type of input/output relationship. To validate the proposed algorithm some comparisons are given in terms of the time complexity and the number of test cases.

Because of rapid evolution of software technique, numerous software professionals have been concerned with component based development methodologies. However, it is hard to find out a systematic technique for the selection of COTS (Commercial Off The Shelf) component in consumer position. Up to date, the major of component quality evaluation is object-oriented metric based evaluation methodology. But this paper present four step process and evaluation criteria based on MCDM (Multiple Criteria Decision Making) technique for optimal COTS component selection in consumer position. We considered funtionality, efficiency, usability based on IS0/IEC 9126 for Quality measurement and executed practical analysis about commercial EJB component in internet. This paper show that the proposed selection technique is applicable to optimal COTS component selection.

This paper attempts to improve domestic natural gas pricing system, thereby optimizing social welfare. This is done by deriving theoretical frameworks of natural gas pricing, which make use of both Ramsey component pricing rule and Efficient component pricing rule based on the theory of marginal cost. Allocative efficiency and social welfare between gas prices derived from the three pricing mechanism, present Cost-based pricing, Ramsey component pricing rule and Efficient component pricing rule, are analysed and compared in the case study. For the city gas, allocative efficiency of Cost-based pricing is higher than that of Ramsey component pricing rule and Efficient component pricing rule. In contrast, for the natural gas consumed for power generation, allocative efficiency of Cost-based pricing is lower than the other two pricing systems. It also turns out that social welfare is improved by the prices driven from Ramsey component pricing rule and Efficient component pricing rule rather than present Cost-based pricing.

Most information systems are component-based and developed by outsourcing, and developed software is maintained integrative. However, studies on cost measurement indicators and cost estimation model have not been performed sufficiently, which are foundational to enhance the productivity and efficiency of maintenance. This study suggests indicators to measure maintenance cost for component-based software and examines maintenance cost estimation model of component software by the measurement indicators suggested. In order to generate the indicators to measure the component-based maintenance cost, the previously proposed indicators are summarized comparatively. To estimate the measurement indicators of component-based software, it makes a comparison of the previously proposed indicators and arranges them. We classify the measurement indicators by how to apply according to maintenance types of component software and then we propose the cost measurement indicators. Moreover, we propose the cost estimation model according to the maintenance types of component software using the suggested measurement indicators suggested. With the suggested estimation model, a case study is performed and its validity is verified.

In component-based system, the qualities of components as reusable units are the most important to success the component-based development. Therefore, before software implementation phase, the designed components should be measurable to improve the qualities of the components and the measured results should be reflected in the component-based development phase. In addition, the qualities of the components should be measured accurately. Accordingly, this paper proposes cohesion and coupling metrics applying static and dynamic dependency characteristics by the interdependence between classes. We prove the theoretical soundness of the proposed metrics by the axiom of briand et al. A case study and a comparison with the conventional metrics verify the practicality of the proposed metrics. The development times and endeavors to design the components is reduced, because the proposed metrics measure the qualities of components accurately.

A very widely used analytical method (mathematical model), mentioned in Eurocode 3, to examine the connections' bending behavior is the component-based method that has certain weak points shown in the plastic behavior part of the moment-rotation curves. In the component method available in Eurocode 3, for simplicity, the effect of strain hardening is omitted, and the bending behavior of the connection is modeled with the help of a two-line diagram. To make the component method more efficient and reliable, this research proposed its advanced version, wherein the plastic part of the diagram was developed beyond the guidelines of the mentioned Regulation, implemented to connect the end plate, and verified with the moment-rotation curves found from the laboratory model and the finite element method in ABAQUS. The findings indicated that the advanced component method (the method developed in this research) could predict the plastic part of the moment-rotation curve as well as the conventional component-based method in Eurocode 3. The comparison between the laboratory model and the outputs of the conventional and advanced component methods, as well as the outputs of the finite elements approach using ABAQUS, revealed a different percentage in the ultimate moment for bolt-extended end-plate connections. Specifically, the difference percentages were -31.56%, 2.46%, and 9.84%, respectively. Another aim of this research was to determine the optimal dimensions of the end plate joint to reduce costs without letting the mechanical constraints related to the bending moment and the resulting initial stiffness, are not compromised as well as the safety and integrity of the connection. In this research, the thickness and dimensions of the end plate and the location and diameter of the bolts were the design variables, which were optimized using Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), Snake Optimization (SO), and Teaching Learning-Based Optimization (TLBO) to minimization the connection cost of the end plate connection. According to the results, the TLBO method yielded better solutions than others, reducing the connection costs from 43.97 to 17.45€ (60.3%), which shows the method's proper efficiency.
