Assemblies of Software Components

Component-based software engineering (CBSE) is founded on a paradigm: complex systems can be obtained by assembling components, thereby main work focuses on the methods and techniques of component modeling, adapting and assembling. However, these attempts have not established a more systematic approach for component assembly yet. In the paper, we investigate operations of changing components, assembly relationships and assembly equivalences in order to construct a set of assembly rules, optimize solutions to the assemblies of components and further establish a systematic component-based development method.
