Software composition

Mehr zum Buch

Component-based software development represents a significant evolution beyond object-oriented programming, aiming to reduce complexity and enhance reusability. The industry has recognized these benefits, leading to the adoption of numerous component-based techniques and processes across various organizations. This shift has resulted in the development and standardization of multiple component models, which define interactions between software components and streamline the design process by enabling developers to utilize pre-existing components. However, the creation of component models is just the initial step; numerous challenges remain, including component adaptation, development, and verification. The Software Composition workshop is a leading forum for advancing research in component-based software engineering and related fields. SC 2005 marked the fourth event in this series, held alongside the ETAPS conference. The program featured a keynote by Prof. Oscar Nierstrasz on the revival of dynamic languages and included 13 technical presentations (9 full and 4 short papers) selected from 41 submissions. Each paper underwent rigorous peer review by at least three program committee members, with acceptance reached through an electronic discussion. This LNCS volume presents the revised versions of the papers from SC 2005.
