Component Based Software Engineering has been investigated to improve software modularity. Various component models exist, but improvements are still needed to provide architecture validation. In this paper, we present a hierarchical component model using explicit protocols defined with the Symbolic Transition System (STS) formalism. This model is based on an N-party rendezvous and provides three new kinds of bindings. We formalise our model and define two orthogonal properties: behavioural compatibility and event strictness. We also present preliminary results about the check of these properties.
