Component-based development can support high-levels of software development productivity, given an appropriate conceptual framework and a set of pragmatic steps to set-up the development environment and organization. This tutorial describe how to set-up a component factory (i.e., an efficient software production capability able to deliver and assemble industrial-level software components) by presenting the common issues, the architectural principles and the pragmatic steps required for such an endeavor. The tutorial is based on the book "The Business Component Factory", by Peter Herzum (principal author) and Oliver Sims, John Wiley and Sons. Participants will acquire the terminology, principles and steps, as well as being introduced to the main risks, costs and examples of common mistakes, required to approach the efficient production of components, component-based systems and integration of component-based systems for the enterprise.
Attendee Background: The tutorial is targeted to professionals involved in the management, architecture, integration or design of next-generation component-based systems for the enterprise. Prerequisites are a background of software engineering principles for large-scale development and familiarity with the object oriented paradigm. Useful but not required pre-requisites include familiarity with distributed business system development and with the development of data-intensive, transaction-oriented business systems. Peter Herzum has been working with objects since 1987 and with business components for the enterprise since 1992. Currently responsible for the component-based practice at PLATINUM Technology, Inc., he is the creator of the business component approach, an approach centered on components for the efficient development of large-scale distributed business systems. He has architected, mentored and managed very large-scale projects both in Europe and in the US. An active member of the OMG, he is the principal author of the book "Business Component Factory: Theory and Practice". |
