Abstract

In any component-based software engineering effort, the issues of locating, evaluating and determining compatibility between components are highly important. Also, the knowledge gained during integration is not easily managed or shared. The goal of the STEP2002 Workshop on COTS integration and evaluation was to continue the effort to define a reference architecture for a system to codify component integration knowledge. The system can then evaluate ensembles of components against a manifest of desired components and interactions, and rank these ensembles based upon ease of integration.
