Abstract

The proposal of CAT (component aware techniques) is effectively using components that meet the stakeholders´ needs for a component based application (CBA). Matching off-the-shelf (OTS) components, using a representation of OTS components as an aggregate of their functional and non-functional requirements and architecture is an important activity. This paper explores the relationship between matching effectiveness with the richness of OTS component structure illustrated using a home appliance control system (HACS) example. Intuition tells that the richer the structure of OTS component, the more effective the matching is. This paper shows positive relationship between OTS model richness and matching effectiveness with experimental study.
