Chapter 7. Approaches to Component-Oriented Modeling

In the previous chapter we considered the core set of component technologies important for any enterprise-scale component solution. While the technology is a necessary element of any solution, on its own it is insufficient. A major part of any solution is the approach to be taken (i.e., the methods, techniques, processes, and heuristics) to apply the technology in context. These elements are essential for effective use of the technology.

In this regard, a number of questions must be addressed. In particular, how do we describe the behavior expected from each component, and arrive at an appropriate component architecture for an application? The answer lies in following the steps of a component-based ...
