Stefano De Panfilis, CBSEnet 2° Workshop Apr 2003, Budapest 12 The First Workshop (2)  Components in business information systems Identification of CBSE inhibitors, such as  No training in how to practice the use of components,  Lack of standards,  Cross departmental political barriers,  Lack of effective software metrics,  No component library,  Lack of suitable components (this was seen as a more general version of the “Quality of component is questionable” as expressed in the questionnaire),  Lack of management support,  High cost for selection,  Lack of semantics for the components description,  Lack of specific methodologies for CBSE,  Meantime too reuse to large.

Stefano De Panfilis, CBSEnet 2° Workshop Apr 2003, Budapest 13 The First Workshop (3)  Components in real time and embedded software big industrial concerns on the offered quality  performance,  reliability,  availability of service current research on dependability  how to embed dependability concerns down to the development  how to evolve testability  how to understand the behaviour of component-based systems  which support through UML

Stefano De Panfilis, CBSEnet 2° Workshop Apr 2003, Budapest 14 The First Workshop (4)  Issues in establishing a Component Market Inhibitors to buy and use components:  Quality of component specifications.  Integrators have the need to protect investments.  Marketing terminology: most of the managers don’t believe in “reuse”  Buyers don’t like different categorisation of components  Licensing agreements are highly complicated  Sellers are not protected by consumer law as they are not consumers. Moreover consumers protection law may vary across different countries.  Promoters for the market  Need of “confidence”. Trustworthiness should be “sold” and “visible”.  Challenges  Better Quality of the specifications. A particular concern to Risk.  Investment protection both from a technological and contractual point of view.
