Abstract

Component-Based Software Engineering (CBSE) uses more and more "Commercial off-the-shelf" (COTS) components in early phases of the development of the software applications. Developers of software systems demand the presence of processes for searching and selection software components to fulfill architectural requirements of the future application. This work establishes the basis of a trader implementation for COTS components, focusing on the experience of known trading models, news models of computation, and all the potential that the Internet offers. In accordance with this, the ODP/OMG trading function is analyzed, underlining its limitations and requirements for a COTS component trader on open systems.
