The Research and Development of the Technologies in Component Library

The retrieval and management of components play important roles on the Component Based Software De-velopment (CBSD), which is an effective way to support software reuse. Reusable component library is one of thefoundation establishments in it. It is well able to provide component representation, classification, certification, stor-age, retrieval, evaluation and feedback, interoperable libraries, etc. This paper is a summarization on the technolo-gies in component library. It introduces their current status, presents four component libraries, and outlines the fu-ture trends.The retrieval and management of components play important roles on the Component Based Software De-velopment (CBSD), which is an effective way to support software reuse.
