Maintaining component-based system based on reflection mechanism

In the practice of software engineering, component-based software development is getting a main stream, more and more software products are composed by different components. But meanwhile, problems lying in component itself and the process of integrating or isolating component influence the reliability of software systems. Be simple to say, how to maintain component-based system effectively? to solve this problem, this paper proposes an approach which is based on meta information modeling and architecture reflection technologies.
