TEAM Zarate Tarrani Notes From the Field

Today's hot topic and focus of my research is component-based software engineering (CBSE). I came across conference proceedings that are rich in content, ideas and techniques, including: 1998 International Workshop on Component-Based Software Engineering Papers and Presentations; the 1999 International Workshop on Component-Based Software Engineering papers and CBSE Handbook Outline; and, EUROMICRO 2001 CBSE workshop presentations.

Component Based Development has downloads, links and discussion forums that are a wonderful resource for anyone who is interested in CBSE.

There are a two PDF documents that are worth downloading:

1. Component-Based Software Engineering in a Pervasive Environment
2. Component-based software engineering (CBSE) from an organizational point of view

There are also some worthwhile PowerPoint presentations that I liked:

• Component-based Software Engineering Processes
• Component-Based Software Engineering (CBSE)
• The Future of Workflow
• Theory & Implementation of Component Models
• Process Flow

I also found Software Cost Estimation (in PowerPoint format) to be a good addition to CBSE research. This presentation addresses components and should be read by all project planners, architects and developers.
