As software systems become increasingly complex to build developers are turning more and more to integrating pre-built components from third party developers into their systems. T...
: The difficulties to assess reliability of systems that use COTS components are sometimes compounded by the inaccessibility of some COTS codes. This paper develops an approach of ...
At the heart of a well-disciplined, systematic methodology that explicitly supports the use of COTS components is a clearly defined process for effectively using components that m...
A commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) component is an implementation of common functionality among family members, where an in-house component implements an organization-specific func...
Hybrid spacecraft processing platforms that combine radiation-hardened components with commercialgrade COTS components have the potential to dramatically improve performance while ...

For economic reasons, a new trend in the development of distributed hard real-time systems is to rely on the use of CommercialO -The-Shelf cots hardware and operating systems. As...

The development of software systems from already built COTS components has been motivated by the prospect of reduced cost and development time. However, developing COTS-based syst...
Commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) software components are built to be used as black boxes that cannot be modified. The specific context in which these COTS components are employed is...
This paper proposes the adoption of a goal-based method called GBRAM for facilitating the process of building taxonomies of COTS components. Since GBRAM was defined in a different ...
The selection process is a crucial activity of the development of COTS-based systems. A key step of the evaluation of COTS components carried out during selection is the matching b...
