AN APPROACH TO COMPONENT RETRIEVAL BASED ON SIMILAR MATCHING

One of the major problems associated with CBSD is the difficulty in searching and retrieving reusable components that meet the requirement at hand. A similar matching-based approach to component retrieval is proposed as a solution to this problem. This approach makes use of a hierarchy semantic-based component representation that exactly expresses semantic features of components. A multi-dimensional component library is developed based on virtual components to implement automatic categorization of components. An experiment is provided to illustrate the performance of the proposed approach.
