The process of component integrationfor distributed application sofrware development requires identifying the candidate components and performing compatibility checks based on the functional as well as non-functional requirements of the target application sofhvare. Since these requirements vary, it is important that distributed components themselves provide a set of specific services to facilitate component integration. In this paper, an approach to component integration for distributed application software is given. An object-oriented distributed component framework and a distributed connector model are presented to facilitate component integration.
