- Abstract
- CBD(Component-Based Development) or COP(Component Oriented Programming) has recently been adopted as the better method for software development. However, in order for CBD technology to be more successful, binary components developed and deployed by a third party or a vendor should be adaptable if the components do not meet a component user's requirements. A component user usually requires component adaptation if the provided interface and required interface of a component are mismatched, or a component attribute and method need to be modified. In this paper, an adaptation method for binary components through adaptation pattern components is proposed. The proposed method solves a problem that a component becomes larger continuously by adaptation for the same reason. So far, the conventional component adaptation by a wrapping technique has repeatedly performed the wrapping of the existing component whenever component adaptation is required even for the same reason. However, the proposed adaptation technique provides a new mechanism for supporting component adaptation by using an adaptation pattern component, so that the adaptation pattern component can be reused for the same reason.
