Component- Oriented Development and Assembly: Paradigm, Principles, and Practice using Java

by Piram Manickam, S. Sangeetha, S. V. Subrahmanya

Overview

Although industry has been leveraging the advancements of component-oriented development and assembly (CODA) technology for some time, there has long been a need for a book that provides a complete overview of the multiple technologies that support CODA. Filling this need, Component-Oriented Development and Assembly supplies comprehensive coverage of the principles, practice, and paradigm of component-oriented development and assembly.

The first part of the book provides the conceptual foundation for component-oriented software. Part II focuses on the various standard Java component models and describes how to develop a component-oriented system using these component models. Part III covers the various aspects of the component-oriented development paradigm.

Based on the authors’ research and teaching experience, the text focuses on the principles of component-oriented software development from a technical concepts perspective, designer’s perspective, programmer’s perspective, and manager’s perspective. Covering popular component development frameworks based on Java, it is suitable as a textbook for component-oriented software for undergraduate and postgraduate courses. It is also an ideal reference for anyone looking to adopt the component-oriented development paradigm.

The book provides readers with access to all the source code used in the book on a companion site (http://www.codabook.com). The source code for the CODA implementation of the case study presented in Chapter 11 is also hosted on the website. The website will also serve as a technical forum for further discussions on the topic and for any updates to the book.

Editorial Reviews

The authors provide a carefully thought-out treatment of software components and component-oriented development. They do so in a manner that is, at the same time, rigorous and accessible to a spectrum of readers: from those who are generally knowledgeable in software engineering but do not have a background in component-oriented development, to those who have significant prior exposure but are looking to shore up their knowledge and develop expertise in the state of the art. ... a valuable addition to any software engineer’s bookshelf!
