Systems constructed from diverse software products are often difficult to assemble and deploy correctly, particularly as the products evolve and the underlying platform changes over time. Many of these problems arise because of the many assumptions and dependencies, often implicit, that software products make about the context in which they are deployed. This paper describes an approach to managing the dependencies between the software elements of a system during assembly and deployment. A formal model of dependencies is developed, and it is shown how the model can be applied during the deployment process to verify the correct assembly of a system. The approach is designed to allow system developers, assemblers, and deployers to be part of the user group that collectively manages the dependencies that exist within an assembly.
