In this paper, we propose a automation of the classification process for reusable software component and construction method of structured software components library. In order to efficient and automatic classification of software component, we decide the facets to represent characteristics of software component by acquiring semantic and syntactic information from software components descriptions in natural language, and compose the software component identifier or automatic extract terms corresponds to each facets. And then, in order to construct the structured software components library, we sore in the near location with software components of similar characteristic according to semantic similarity of the classified software components. As the result of applying proposed method, we can easily identify similar software components, the classification process of software components become simple, and the software components store in the structured software components library.

Component-based software reuse has been generally regarded as a promising approach to improving software productivity and quality within software development. However, progress in component-based software reuse has been slower than expected. Much of the software reuse literature points to the lack of software components that can maximize users' benefits as the most important source of the slow progress. Considering that the underlying processes behind component-based software reuse are strikingly similar to commercial software marketing, this paper attempts to identify the aspects of software components that consumers value and to establish relationships between the identified aspects and consumer behavior in the software component market. More specifically, this paper focuses on the perceived subjective features of software components. This study was conducted in a web-based artificial market environment called "SofTrade."

Reusing software components without proper analysis is very risky because software components can be used differently from the way that they were developed. This paper describes a new testing approach for reusing software components. With this new approach, it is possible to automatically decide if software components can be reused without retesting. In addition, when retesting is required for reusing software, test cases are generated more efficiently using the previous testing history.

This paper proposes a framework for product development including hardware and software components. The framework provides separation of the hardware dependent software, an integrated product development process, and integration of software components with product configurations and product structures. In order to separates the hardware dependent software, the framework considers product configuration modules and engineering changes of associated hardware and software components. The proposed product development process integrates development of the hardware dependent software into the existing product development process. In order to integrates the hardware dependent software with product configurations and product structures, the framework represents software components by existing product data models in Product Data Management (PDM). The framework is applied to development of a robot system including hardware and software components in order to show its effectiveness.

This paper explores how to characterise security properties of software components, and how to reason about their suitability for a trustworthy compositional contract. Our framework provides an explicit opportunity for software composers as well as software components to test a priori security properties of software components in a system composition. The proposed framework uses logic programming as a tool to represent security properties of atomic components and reason about their compositional matching with other components.

Component-based software development (CBSD) is a method for building large software system by integrating previously-existing software components. Software development method using components has several advantages such that reducing time to delivery and development costs, and increasing productivity etc. But integrating components developed from multiple vendors is too difficult As a result it is required the understanding on the context of use to develop reusable components. The context of use for software component of determined by software architecture. Therefore, it is possible to develop an application based on components if is based on software architecture. Also, it is essential to consider domain concepts for CBSD. To increase the reusability of components. we should develop components in a domain which is a set of related systems. In this paper, we proposed a domain architecture development methodology that supports component-based software development. Domain architecture that represents components and their relationship is produced through domain analysis and design process. We believe that component development methodology using proposed domain architecture can efficiently develop highly reusable components as well as easily develop and application using information acquired from domain architecture.

It is difficult to design system software to meet a better separation of concerns, which can provide a number of benefits such as adaptability, extensibility, and modularity in the design and implementation. During design, some aspectual properties, such as synchronization, scheduling, performance and fault tolerance, crosscut the basic functionalities of the system software. By separating functional components from the different aspectual components of the system software in the design, we can provide a better generic design model of system software. Aspect-Oriented Programming is a methodology that aims at separating components and aspects from the early stages of the software life cycle, and using techniques to combining them together at the implementation phase. In this paper we discuss an aspect-oriented framework that can simplify system software design and implementation by expressing it at a higher level of abstraction. Our work concentrates on how to achieve a higher separation of aspectual components, functional components, and layers from each other. Our goal is to achieve a better design model for implementing system software in terms of modularity, reusability and adaptability.

To enhance the productivity of software development and accelerate time to market, software developers have recently paid more attention to a component-based development (CBD) approach due to the benefits of component reuse. Among CBD processes, the identification of reusable components is a key but difficult process. Currently, component identification depends mainly on the intuition and experience of domain experts. In addition, there are few systematic methods or tools for component identification that enable domain experts to identify reusable components. This paper presents a systematic method and its tool called a component identifier that identifies software components by using object-oriented domain information, namely, use case models, domain object models, and sequence diagrams. To illustrate our method, we use the component identifier to identify candidates of reusable components from the object-oriented domain models of a banking system. The component identifier enables domain experts to easily identify reusable components by assisting and automating identification processes in an earlier development phase.
