Abstract
Component-based engineering is of paramount importance for rigorous system design methodologies. It is founded on a paradigm which is common to all engineering disciplines: complex systems can be obtained by assembling components (building blocks). Components are usually characterized by abstractions that ignore implementation details and describe properties relevant to their composition e.g. transfer functions, interfaces. Composition is used to build complex components from simpler ones. It can be formalized as an operation that takes in components and their integration constraints. From these, it provides the description of a new, more complex component.
