Enhanced Component Reuse with Atomic Domains: Application Scenarios

The implementation of component-based development has reached an era of success yet still is facing issues where local component models are concerned. Some issues from the programmer's perspective are not only the ease and amount of reuse but also implementing a reuse solution that self-selects the best component. Building on previous work, this paper focuses on a general-model framework for developing domain-specific reusable components. The paper illustrates the application of the atomic domains methodology of the general-model framework to specific scenarios of component-based software engineering in an attempt to show a normalized or enhanced local component model. The application of the framework is illustrated as a mapping of its atomic domains methodology to each selected scenario, thus increasing the possibility for ease of reuse and promoting higher reuse for the programmer and the domain of application
