Abstract :
The authors describe the background and development of a component interface description language called the Component Interface Descriptor (CIDER). CIDER is an object-oriented design language, which enables a software engineer to capture, integrate and reuse component interfaces based on a model of the reusable software component, the 3C model. The 3C model of the reusable component is named after the three attributes of the component that the model describes: its context, concept and content
