A Multiple Viewed Interrelated Ontology Model for Holistic Component Specification and Retrieval
  Despite the success that Component-Based Development has achieved so far, component mismatch remains as a major hurdle for wider and smoother component reuse due to the lack of effective and automated approaches to component specification and retrieval. This paper presents a novel ontology-based approach to solve the above problem via holistic, semantic-based and adaptation-aware component specification and retrieval. The Multiple-Viewed and Interrelated Component Specification ontology model (MVICS) provides an ontology based architecture to specify components in a spectrum of perspectives. A semantic-based component retrieval method is then developed and the result of retrieval is presented to CBD engineers in a comprehensive component matching profile. Uniquely, the effect of possible component adaptation is included in the MVICS model and associated component specification and retrieval, which enables a more systematic and holistic view in component specification and selection.
