Abstract

To build enterprise applications out of software components promises more flexible and adaptable information systems. In practice it turns out that the business components to be used must be themselves adaptable. Parameterization is an adaptation technique which is well-suited for adaptation on business level. Successful reuse of business components requires techniques to specify the components. In this paper we discuss how the parameterization properties of a component can be included in its specification - this includes parameters themselves and their effect on the components functionality.
