Abstract

The increasing number of available software components and competing interoperability standards render the selection, composition, and configuration of software components increasingly complex. In order to support the domain expert in these processes comprehensive, comparable, and sufficiently abstract component descriptions are required. In this paper, we abstract from the specifics of the component models COM, EJB, and CCM, and propose a unifying component description language for integral descriptions of structure and behaviour of software components and component-based software systems.
