Abstract
True component systems have been an elusive goal of the software industry. Ideally, software should be assembled from libraries of pre-written components, just as hardware is assembled from pre-fabricated chips. In reality, large parts of software applications are written “from scratch”, so that software production is still more a craft than an industry.
