A High Level Service-Based Approach to Software Component Integration

This paper motivates and sets out a framework for a high-level approach to software component integration. The framework builds on the concept of SaaS (Software as a Service) and uses a service ontology for the annotation of software components with formal specifications. The ontology is used to instruct interoperability between software components through a unified API interface. The impetus for this approach is to provision for smooth integration, management and scalability in a collaborative and distributed development environment.
