Abstract

Applying component-based development requires design support in the form of methods, frameworks, and tools. To this end, this paper first proposes a componentisation approach and then applies this approach to re-engineer a numerical application into a component-based application. The paper provides qualitative and quantitative evidence that componentisation has improved the modifiability and reusability of the application without significantly affecting performance.
