Abstract
Component-based software development becomes an important technique to build reliable, huge and distributed systems. An important characteristic of components is that components are usuallyprovided in binary code and users of components cannot debug them. So, components should be carefully implemented and the users need rigorous specifications of them. Specifications of components should provide information not only of their interface but also their behaviour with highly abstracted representation. In addition, a system specification (consists of several component specifications) should provide the architecture of the system (how the components are combined). Inthis article, we propose a formal method based on algebraic specification, which supports component composition. Our component composition technique can handle synchronization
