Abstract

The COTS (Commercial Off-The-Shelf components) selection process is difficult due to the huge number of existing COTS components. Moreover, the price of a mistake is great due to the complex nature of information systems. In this paper an analysis of different COTS component selection methodologies is presented. Based on this, the ontology for supporting COTS component selection processes is proposed. In order to achieve a high level of practicality on different levels of decision making, the ontology is implemented in Protégé software.
