Components Dependency Relativity Analysis in CBSA

With the growth of Internet, “always on” services are becoming increasingly important in software evolution. Component based software architecture (CBSA) is one of the hottest fields in software research, how to apply non-stop software evolution to CBSA has been an urgent task in software evolution. Component relativity is a key issue in solving this problem. In this paper, we established a component model to determine the dependencies between components, identified the static and dynamic relationship between components. We show that our proposed model allows having a general, unified and an adaptable view of behavioral concepts required in CBSA from all functional viewpoints.
