Abstract
We introduce a component model with an architectural description language that helps to manage the growing complexity and diversity of software in consumer electronics products. The model supports flexible instantiation and late binding of components at an absolute minimum of product costs (code size and speed). The model is being used in the production of the next generation of mid to high-end television sets.
