Enhanced Component Reuse with Atomic Domains: Application Scenarios

The implementation of component-based development has reached an era of success yet still is facing issues where local component models are concerned. Some issues from the programmer´s perspective are not only the ease and amount of reuse but also implementing a reuse solution that self-selects the best component. Building on previous work, this paper focuses on a general-model framework for developing domain-specific reusable components. The paper illustrates the application of the atomic domains methodology of the general-model framework to specific scenarios of component-based software engineering in an attempt to show a normalized or enhanced local component model. The application of the framework is illustrated as a mapping of its atomic domains methodology to each selected scenario, thus increasing the possibility for ease of reuse and promoting higher reuse for the programmer and the domain of application
