Automatic configuration for the component selection problem

Component Based Software Engineering (CBSE) is concerned with the assembly of pre-existing software components that leads to a software system that responds to client-specific requirements. Component selection and component systems assembly have become two of the key issues involved in this process. This work presents an approach for component selection, solution based on maximum number of provided operations that satisfy the current requirements. Another contribution of this paper addresses the problem of automatic assembly of component systems. The algorithm CSAC (Component System Automatic Configurations) is presented. With our case study we show that our approach is efficient and generally applicable in practical scenarios.
