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

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.
