Component-based development(CBD) has been generalized in industry to master the complexity and reduce the development cost and time. However, current CBD practice is developing the component which is dependent on single application[l][2]. Therefore component variability is emphasized to reuse the component in many family members in a domain[8]. However, components are developed for the reason of replaceability rather than the reusability which is the main purpose of the component due to the insufficiency of the study of component variability definition and type[3]. In this paper, we formally specify the component variability reflecting the characteristics of the component to increase the component reusability. We define the logic variability which was recognized as the existing component variability and we propose all types of variability existing in the component by suggesting three more variability types. And we propose the component variability scope which makes us estimate and verify the number of cases of the variability when we customize the component. We propose these component variability types and scope through formal specification. By applying these techniques in developing components, we can develop high quality components reusable in many family members.

The component for satisfying several domain requirements must be developed to support variety. But, when the application is developed using the component, it happens other requirements. So, it is difficult to design component to satisfy severaldomain requirements. Also, it is impossible to support the special business logic. As this problem, the component must provide to the white-box component, it is not the black-box component. So, in this paper, we propose the variability design technique and the customization technique using the design technique that can support the various requirements. This technique is not focus on designing the component to analyze various domains. The variability of the component is designed to the initial variability in the component development phase and we use the customization technique for applying the variability to developing application. The variability can be re-designed during developing the application to use the component applying the variability. The variability of the component is evolved and the generation of the component is increased via the iteration Generally, the range of the component variability is classified the function modification within the component and the component internal structure modification as requirements in the component outside. As the range of the variability, we propose the variability design technique of the behavior and the message flow. This paper proposes a message flow design technique for modifying function call.

The research of the variability gains more gravity in component-based software development, because it helps to extend the reusability of the component. A domain-specific component supports the more variability, the wider scope that the component can be applied to. However, the more variability included in a component, It makes the size of a component bigger, and the cost to construct the component is rises. As a result, this disturbs making an optimized system. In this paper, we classify the variability into 3 types, according to their features. And we propose some implementation techniques for each type based COM. Moreover, we also propose a process to analysis and design the variability with their artifacts, which includes some tasks from variability extraction to implementation of it. This proposed process can be applied as a part of the component developing process.

The business component for satisfying a variety of domain requirements should be developed to provide a variety. But, although components are developed by analyzing the variety of requirements when they are developed, developing components that satisfy all requirements is not easy since unexpected requirements occur as it is used components. For this reason, components are not provided as black boxes but as white boxes, and there by components are not modified in the interface only but the source codes are directly modified. Accordingly, a Time-To-Market by the use of components is not easy and a reusability of the components also decreases. This study proposes a customization technique that can be satisfied requirements of many different kinds of domains by analyzing variable spots of components. The initial variability of components is designed in the component development phase. and a customization technique is used to apply the variability. The variability can be redesigned during the development of application by using the components to which the variability is applied. Through this process, a variability of components evolves and a generality of the components can be improved. The proposing customization technique in this study can change the component to extend without changing the existing component when it is redesigned.

CBD(Component Based Development) can make use of component of block unit that is implementation beforehand and shorten software development cost and time. Also, component can reduce complexity for the large application development because it can hide detail part of internal and offer interface. Common requirement of family in the enterprise framework environment can express workflow, but it is very difficult that express special workflow in single component on various family member's requirement. Therefore, necessity about workflow variability management between component for family member and implementation method had been required constantly This treatise presents implementation techniques for component workflow variability in enterprise framework under .NET base. Presented component workflow variability implementation techniques supposes that commonness business workflow that family can use in enterprise workflow was created already in component, and improve workflow's extensity between component by workflow composition between special component and techniques for practice to various family member.

It is difficult to design a component to satisfy several domain requirements and almost impossible to support a specific business logic completely. To satisfy this requirement, there need white box components rather than black box components. So, in this paper, we propose the variability design technique and the customization technique that can support the various requirements of domains. The initial variability of the component is designed at the CD (component development) phase and the customization technique is used for further application of the variability. In the paper, the behavior variability design and customization techniques are used for altering component behavior. As the components that have been developed using the variability technique can easily be re designed during the development of the applications, the variability of the components can be generalized further.

Component-Based Development (CBD) has emerged as a new effective technology that reduces development cost and time-to-market by assembling reusable components in developing software. The degree of conformance to standards and common features in a domain largely determines the reusability of components. In addition, variability within commonality should also be modeled and customization mechanism for the variability should be designed into components. Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB) is considered a most suitable environment for implementing components. However. the reusability of EJB is limited because EJB does not have built-in variability design mechanisms. In this paper, we present efficient variability design techniques for implementing components in EJB. We propose a method to customize the variability of EJB-based components by applying three variability design mechanisms; selection, plug-in, and external profile. And we elaborate the suitable situations where each variability design mechanism can be applied, and conduct a technical comparison to other approaches available.

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.
