PhD Thesis

 
Title: "A Semantic Web-based Model for Verifying The Matching of Software Components".

Director: Dr. Héctor Alejandro Durán Limón.

Co-Director: Dr. José Emilio Labra Gayo.

Abstract. Component Based Software Engineering (CBSE) is a paradigm that aims at constructing and designing systems using a pre-defined set of software components explicitly created for reuse. Component Based Software Development is (CBSD) focused on assembling previously existing components into larger software system. The key to making software components work is to define components that are general enough to be useful in many contexts, but simple enough that programmers can understand and use the components’ interfaces. However, assembled components (called software component composition) must be compatible in the sense that any sequence of operations requested by one of the interacting components must be provided by the other component(s). Component incompatibility may result in software failures which are difficult to detect and correct. Composition of software components into assemblies (systems) is a fundamental aspect of software development. When two components have been assembled according user’s specifications is called “matching”.  But, it is not a guarantee of the correct operation or functionality. We need extra additional information to verify the correct matching. In this research, we propose a semantic model called Moctezuma (ontology-based approach and software component metadata ) for verifying the correct matching of software component composition.  Software component composition (Hamlet, 2007) is an area of active research in the field of component-based software engineering (CBSE). The software composition problem has been largely addressed by different works (Dra. Asunción Gómez Pérez, 2006) but mainly focusing in a functional and non-semantically-driven approach. Our conceptual model approach for composition of software components is mainly based on Semantic Web technologies (Berners-Lee, 1998) and its key-enabling technology, namely, ontologies and semantic queries (SPARQL). In order to go one step beyond the line, this work propose a conceptual model independent of plataform model and architecture based on the component based software composition paradigm.
