Abstract

Software component technology is important to construct software system. How to seek out required component efficiently and accurately is a challenge issue for component-based software development. The goal of this paper is to propose matching method, called specification-based performance matching. At first, performance specification is formally defined. And then, based on performance specification, we give two kinds of matchings: the Boolean matching and quantitative matching. Finally, properties of specification-based performance matching are presented and some examples are given to illustrate effectiveness of the machining method we propose.
