A composition framework based on software architecture

Component based software engineering can effectively enhance the software developing quality and efficiency, and the composition technique is one of the key points of the component based software engineering. From the point of software architecture, the international prevalent and the newest software architectures are analyzed in this paper, meanwhile, a component model which is support both the plug-socket and a smart-connector-based software architecture is proposed and the concepts of basic and advanced compositions are defined and a component composition framework is proposed. This composition framework maintains the advantages of both the architectures and the complexity reduction of interface and control, provides the possibility of increasing software reusability, developing efficiency and quality. The composition personnel are divided into two groups, so they concern different aspects of the components which can help about the future work.
