Abstract

We advocate an approach towards the characterisation of components where their qualifications are deduced systematically from a small set of elementary assumptions. Using the characteristics that we find, we discuss some implications for components of real-time and distributed systems. Also we touch upon implications for design-paradigms and some disputed issues about components.
