Meenakshi Sridhar, Nasib Singh Gill . Formal Conceptual Framework for Structure of Context of Component-based System for Designing Robust Software Systems and Metrics. International Journal of Computer Applications. 112, 7 ( February 2015), 30-37. DOI=10.5120/19681-1412
For defining a set of unambiguous and language-independent metrics and other relevant concepts, the need for definition of a formal conceptual framework of the context/environment, particularly for safety-critical environments, has earlier been recognized and emphasized. In this paper, a formal conceptual framework is proposed for defining metrics and other relevant concepts for a component-based system, in which, instead of component, assembly—a slightly modified and more general concept—is taken as a basic building block for design and development of software. The paper discusses a formal conceptual framework for the structure of context for a component-based system. In another paper, a formal conceptual framework for the dynamics/ behaviour within the context of a component-based system is discussed.
