Recently, above 50 percentages of software are being developed based on distributed application platforms. And recent technologies such as EJB(Enterprise Java Beans)[1]COM(Component Object Model)[2] CORBA(Common Object Request Broker Architecture)[3] have been advanced for distributed component-based software development . Therefore a systematic development process is necessary to develop component based applications using distributed application platforms. However, most of component-base software development processes do not define concrete flows between tasks and relationships among artifacts of each task Also, distribution issues are not considered explicitly in most of component-based software development In this paper, we present an approach to analyze and design software based on distributed components. In this approach, we propose systematic guidelines for developing a software based on Unified process and the relationships among artifacts which are produced, Also we explicitly consider the distribution issues such as performance, fault tolerance, security, distributed transaction of CORBA environments.
