Abstract

In this paper we define a formal framework for describing components and gaps or holes (where components can be plugged in) This is based on the theory of interface automata The main focus is to define a component partially satisfying the requirements of a hole A partial plug-in of a hole will result in other holes The definition of a partial plug-in does not result in a unique set of holes, i.e., the resulting holes can have different properties We define an software engineering process which uses the formal framework to complete the component selection and insertion process The process is defined in terms of the possible interactions between a component vendor and a customer seeking a component.
