A component retrieval system

Abstract

The current components' retrieval tools offer few services to facilitate a relevant search of these components. They are intended for experts having already a good knowledge of the components' catalogues. However, they are still limited for inexperienced users. The crucial problem is to retrieve the components according to the user's requirements. In this context, our contribution aims at analyzing and comparing some existing retrieval approaches and proposing an integrated process of the components retrieval which is user centred.
