Abstract

This position paper consists of two parts. The first part gives an overview of a research project started by ABB and Mälardalen University. The project is concentrated on use of standards technologies and standard components in real-time industry-process systems. The main goal of the project is to increase the knowledge about software development based on standard components from both theoretical and practical points of view. The project can be an interesting case of practices of adopting CBSE, a case of an approach in managing component-based engineering. The second part of the paper points to some important aspects in use of components at the development, run-time, and maintenance phases. It is a problem of identification and configuration of components in software systems. Configuration Management (CM) disciplines, such as Version Management, Configuration and Build Management, Change Management, etc., are well established for the conventional development. In a component-based development some new requirements on identification and version management arise, and some new methods, similar to those from conventional CM, and possible extensions of the existing methods, should be objects of further research. We propose an extension of CBSE-handbook with a new sub-chapter which is related to component identification and configuration and which could be a part of the Technology for supporting CBSE chapter.
