CASE design documentation-oriented semantic analysis and component query

Low productivity and quality exist in software reuse process. To solve the problem, in this paper, the target system was designed by CASE (Computer Aided Software Engineering) tool, forming a detailed documentation about assembly deployment, in this way, concept components were extracted, and a ontology-based component model was established to form a ontology component library, then it built semantic understanding between concept components and component ontology library by a domain dictionary, which completed the component query. In order to achieve component assembly it also established a Multi-Agent System, besides an adaptive evaluation was given to the candidate components. The result shows that this method gets high matching degree for components and identify assemble conflicts, which will support software reuse process.
