A commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) component is an implementation of common functionality among family members, where an in-house component implements an organization-specific functionality. Typically, a COTS component has a producer and aset of potential consumers. Consumers evaluate COTS components thoroughly before they purchase, because these components are developed by third party producers and most consumers have ‘not-invented-here’ syndrome. Hence, evaluating the quality of COTS components becomes an important prerequisite to a successful component-based application development. In this paper, we identify the characteristics of COTS components, and derive a practical quality model for components, C-QM, which consists of quality factors, criteria and metrics and a qualify certification system, C-QCS. The top design goal of C-QM is set to provide a practically applicable comprehensive quality model which can be effectively applied in assessing the various quality aspects of COTS components.

This paper considers the reliability computation of the network with dependent components and a software system is developed for supporting the reliability analysis and improvement of the system reliability. At first, We propose the common cause failure and load sharing models as the typical models considering the dynamic behaviors of networks with dependent components. Secondly, the algorithm is proposed to obtain the network reliability and reliability importance of component. The software, Delphi, is used to develop the our reliability analysis system.

Component-based development methods are regarded as one of the most important tools for us to cope with ever-increasing software complexity and, at the same time, to improve productivity in software development. This paper presents how to generate test-cases for integrated software from those of member components and how to validate composition of components, by the analysis of domain relations of components. This paper shows the applicability of the proposed technique by the real experiment. This study is based on the dataflow systems architecture and process components, and the technique developed here is an application of domain testing technique.

Two hard sub-problems have emerged relating to the use of mobile agents for service management tasks. First, what is their impact on security, and second, how can they receive a flexible capacity to adapt to an open range of different environments on demand, without introducing trio stringent prior assumptions. In this paper, we present work towards solving the second problem, which is of particular interest to management software, because it typically needs to excert fine-grained and therefore particular resource control. We suggest a mechanism that reassembles mobile agents from smaller sub-components during arrival at each hop. The process incorporates patterns of unmutable and mutable sub-components, and is informed by the conditions of each local environment. We discuss different kinds of software adaptation and draw a distinction between static and continuous forms. Our software prototype for dynamic adaptation provides a concept far exchanging environment-dependent implementations of mobile agents during runtime. Dynamic adaptation enhances efficiency of mobile code in terms of bandwidth usage and scalability.

The reuse of software components from existing software system enhances productivity and reliability, decreases the cost of production in software development. The extraction of software components with high reusability from existing software system is very important in software reuse. The reuse of a class is classified into white-box reuse to reuse with modification and black-box reuse to reuse without modification. A class has the property of procedural language and object-oriented language. Therefore, it must measure reusability in consideration of two properties. In black-box reuse, independence of class is important quality. It can quantify through information hiding, coupling between objects, cohesion, etc. In white-box reuse, modification is the best important quality. It can quality through class complexity, coupling, cohesion, documentation, etc. We propose a new model for measurement of class reusability and the measure criteria in object-oriented program. A class that is measured by proposed model can judge whether the reuse with modification has the advantage or the reuse without modification has the advantage.

Component-based software development (CBD) is a methodology that has been embraced by the software industry to accelerate development, save costs and timelines, minimize testing requirements, and boost quality and output. Compared to the conventional software development approach, this led to the system's development being completed more quickly. By choosing components, identifying systems, and evaluating those systems, CBSE contributes significantly to the software development process. The objective of CBSE is to codify and standardize all disciplines that support CBD-related operations. Analysis of the comparison between component-based and scripting technologies reveals that, in terms of qualitative performance, component-based technologies scale more effectively. Further study and application of CBSE are directly related to the CBD approach's success. This paper explores the introductory concepts and comparative analysis related to component-based software engineering which have been around for a while, but proper adaption of CBSE are still lacking issues are also focused.

Underwater robots operating in constrained underwater environment have requirements for software systems. Firstly, it is necessary to provide reusable common software components for hardware interface of sensors and actuators that are frequently used in underwater robots. Secondly, it is required to support distributed execution environment on multiple embedded controllers. Thirdly, it is need to implement a monitoring system capable of high-speed and large-data transmission for underwater robots operating in an environment where it is difficult to check the robot status. For these requirements, we have designed the layered architecture pattern and applied several design patterns to enhance the reusability and the maintainability of software components, In addition, we overlaid the broker architecture pattern to support distributed execution environments. Finally, we implemented the underwater robot software system using ROS framework based on the software architecture design. In order to evaluate the performance of the implemented software system, we performed an experiment to measure the response time between components and the transmission rate of the monitoring data, and obtained the results satisfying the required performance.

Simulation tools help creating a low cost and efficient development of embedded system. SID is an open source simulator software that consists library of components for modelling hardware and software components. A component can be written in C/C++ and Tcl/Tk. Currently, the SID simulation toolkit only provides support for C++ and Tcl/Tk. Tcl/Tk is used to write GUI-based components. However, we have observed that Tcl/Tk components cause slow simulation response because Tcl/Tk is a script language. It is not proper for developing the cutting-edge products with rich graphics. Therefore, in this paper, we suggest Java to a new language for GUI components in SID by developing a bridge module for SID to interworking with Java components.

Recently Software Industry has tended to enhance the productivity and quality with using the software architecture in software development and administration. The research of software component technique and software development methodology are just doing and making many applications. The software architecture is considered as the essential element for analyzing and maintaining the entire structure with organizing the software into components and describing the relations with connectors. The software modeling methodology that we propose is generating Happy Work Language describing the software structure with the modeling tool as Happy Work. We can use System Context Diagram, Component Diagram, Component Sequence Diagram, and they are composed of four Elements as Users, Systems, Components, Connectors.
