Component-Based Software Engineering Processes

Although traditional software engineering focuses on development Component-based software engineering (CBSE) processes must focus on integration. In this paper, we elaborate on this focus into a process framework for CBSE consisting of four major activity areas: engineering, business, management, and overarching. We show how these activities are concurrent with respect to an iterative and incremental development model. Detailed discussions are also presented on the consequent issues, concerns, problems, and recommended solutions.
