Abstract

This paper explores the idea of component-based reuse of software development architecture. It includes: (1) analysis of a domain-specific software development architecture, (2) development of a component base (repository) that is robust with respect to system evolution, and (3) implementation of a light weight inference engine for automated decision support. The study is aimed at gaining a framework for component-based reuse of software architecture, where a family of software systems sharing the same architecture are produced using common components. This embraces a component base (repository) equipped with a lightweight inference engine for software evolution and automated decision support for processes such as component retrieval, version control, project management, and task decomposition
