An evaluation algorithm of component retrieval based on fuzzy theories

According to “Software processes are software too” proposed by L.Osterweil, we define a software process model with independent functions as a component. This paper focused on the area of component retrieval during the course of a software evolution process which is defined by model of ESDDM. When component retrieving happens, generally a number of similar components are returned as a result set form the component library. This paper propose a comprehensive evaluation algorithm based on fuzzy theories to assess each component in the result set for the purpose of choosing out the most appropriate ones from the component library.
