Abstract

Recently, component models have received much attention from the Software Engineering research community. The goal of each of these models is to increase reuse and to simplify the implementation and composition of new software. While all these models focus on the specification and packaging of components, however, they provide almost no support for their adaptation and composition. This work still has to be done programmatically. In this paper we present Type Based Adaptation, a novel adaptation technique that uses the type information available about a component. We also describe the design and implementation of our reference implementation thereby verifying the feasibility of this approach.
