Abstract

Component based systems are the result of structuring a system according to particular design pattern which involves components, component frameworks, component models, component composition, component interfaces, contracts and certification. The success of component-based software engineering depends on system integrator's ability to select the most suitable components for their intended application. This is only possible if component suppliers have clear and reliable information about their component's functional and nonfunctional properties. The component attributes allow system integrator to better classify the components. This paper makes an effort to define certain properties of a component, which are helpful during their classification process. This paper also tries to enlighten the component certification/accreditation process, which helps component suppliers to issue the guarantee of claimed functional properties and quality attributes.
