The drift away from monolithic towards distributed, service-oriented application scenarios results in a couple of new challenges concerning the management of these systems. One particular area is the management of dependencies between services. Dependencies can have different appearances, for instance, functional dependencies, semantic integrity conditions, or even dependencies to hardware resources. In this paper we consider services which are provided by software components. The usage of software components promises to allow for flexible and highly tailorable software systems. In the context of our research we consider dependencies in order to enhance the tailorability of component-based, distributed applications. We explain different occurrences of dependencies as well as the necessity of dependency management for adaptations in component-based applications. The paper focuses on a component architecture which allows the deployment of components as well as the management of dependencies between components.
