A FRAMEWORK FOR MANAGING COMPONENTS USING NON-FUNCTIONAL PROPERTIES

Jean-Michel Hufflen

2009

Abstract

As part of a component-based approach, we propose a framework to group specifications of component hierarchies, possibly including the specification of non-functional properties. We show how we are able to choose a particular implementation of a component—or change an implementation to another—regarding non-functional properties, and how we are able to express configurations of component-based architectures. Our approach uses programs related to XML, and non-functional properties are managed by means of a terminology originating from the metadata used by the Dublin Core.
