Abstract

Service Component Architecture (SCA) is a recent approach and an industry standard for developing complex and distributed systems. Despite the growing research work it still lacks a formal basis for handling quality and reliability of safety-critical systems. In this paper we present main techniques and models for assuring quality and trustworthiness of component-based systems in general, then we present and justify the choice of the design-by-contract approach that we adopted for the following of our research about SCA-based systems.
