Component-based software engineering

Encyclopedia : C : CO : COM : Component-based software engineering

Component-based software engineering is a branch of the software engineering discipline, with emphasis on decomposition of the engineered systems into functional or logical components with well-defined interfaces used for communication across the components. Components are considered to be a higher level of abstraction than objects and as such they do not share state and communicate by exchanging messages carrying data.
