【 摘 要 】

The use of Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) components is becoming a strategic need because they offer the possibility to build systems atreduced costs and within shorter development time. Having efficient and reliable COTS components selection methods is a key issue not only for exploitingthe potential benefits of this technology, but also for facing the problems andrisks involved. Searching COTS components requires overcoming several obstacles: the growing size and evolvability of the COTS marketplace, the dependencies from the components to be selected with others, and the type of descriptions currently available for those components. The main goal of this thesisis to provide support for a reliable and comprehensive structuring of a reuse infrastructure for the COTS components marketplace. With this aim, we proposea method for the construction and maintenance of goal-oriented COTS taxonomies based on a solid domain analysis; guiding the gathering of sources of information, modeling requirements and dependency relationship among domains, and organizing knowledge in any segment of the COTS marketplace.
