Guest Editorial for Special Section from Component-based Software Engineering (CBSE)2011

摘要

This section collects a selection of extended articles from the 14th ACM SIGSOFT Symposium on Component-Based Software Engineering (CBSE) - 2011. CBSE emerged in the late 1990s as a novel development paradigm promoting the rapid and cost-effective assembly of pre-existing software components into complex systems, which is a longstanding dream of software engineers. No surprise thus that CBSE founding principles have continued since to attract great attention and interest from both academy and industry. The CBSE Symposium, encompassing research in component specification, composition, analysis, testing and verification, has solidly established itself in the years as the flagship research event for the component community.
