Component-based software engineering (CBSE), also called component-based development (CBD), is a style of software engineering that aims to construct a software system from components that are loosely-coupled and reusable. This emphasizes the separation of concerns among components. [1] [2]
An example of interdependent components modeling a reservation system in UML. Component design is often modeled visually. In Unified Modeling Language (UML) 2.0 a component is shown as a rectangle, and an interface is shown as a lollipop to indicate a provided interface and as a socket to indicate consumption of an interface.
Example of a high-level systems architecture for a computer. A system architecture is the conceptual model that defines the structure, behavior, and views of a system. [1] An architecture description is a formal description and representation of a system, organized in a way that supports reasoning about the structures and behaviors of the system.
The component diagram extends the information given in a component notation element. One way of illustrating a component's provided and required interfaces is through a rectangular compartment attached to the component element. [3] Another accepted way of presenting the interfaces is the ball-and-socket graphic convention.
Research software engineering is the use of software engineering practices, methods and techniques for research software, i.e. software that was made for and is mainly used within research projects. The term was proposed in a research paper in 2010 in response to an empirical survey on tools used for software development in research projects. [ 1 ]
Software composition is the construction of software application components. [10] Components result from software coding, as well as the integration of the source code from external components: Open source, 3rd party components, or frameworks. Other components can be integrated using application programming interface call to libraries or services.
Component (group theory), a quasi-simple subnormal sub-group; Connected component (graph theory), a maximal connected subgraph; Connected component (topology), a maximal connected subspace of a topological space; Vector component, result of the decomposition of a vector into various directions
System integration is defined in engineering as the process of bringing together the component sub-systems into one system (an aggregation of subsystems cooperating so that the system is able to deliver the overarching functionality) and ensuring that the subsystems function together as a system, [1] and in information technology [2] as the process of linking together different computing ...
