Abstract

Although software components have gained importance, support for the composition of distributed components is still limited. Worse, if components implemented for different component models need to interact with each other, the composition process becomes a nightmare. Though, bridging technologies for different component models have been standardized, almost no implementations of these exist so far. In this paper, we present the Component Workbench (CWB), a flexible toolkit for the composition of components. Due to CWB's modular design and a generic component model used for the internal representation of the components, it supports the composition of components implemented for different component models.
