The impact of mobile architectures on component-based software engineering

Component-based software engineering ensures high software quality and rapid application development. However many technological changes are observed since early outbreak of component-based software engineering (CBSE) paradigm on 1990´s. One of these changes is clear shift towards mobile and cloud computing platforms. The goal of this paper is to outline major changes of the component concept and changes of CBSE in general influenced by the mobile platforms. The models of iOS, Android and Windows Phone Applications are described. The paper discloses main similarities and differences of the legacy systems and the mobile component-based systems.
