“…First, the literature mentions problems with the methods like missing operational descriptions on how to use them [17], overlapping or missing evaluation criteria [7], missing match between requirements and evaluation criteria [14], and missing context sensitivity [7]. Second, it mentions that practitioners think it is impractical to perform complete evaluations in terms of time and cost [10]. Third, it mentions issues related to the situation in which the selection is performed.…”

Growing attention on component-based development has inspired the development of several normative methods for selection of software components. Despite these efforts, empirical studies show only minor adoption of such methods. To understand how research can contribute to improving the selection of components we interviewed developers from 16 Norwegian software companies which integrate Open Source Software (OSS) components into their systems. We find that the selection of OSS components has a situational nature where project specific properties significantly constrain the selection's outcome, and that developers employ a 'first fit' rather than 'best fit' approach when selecting OSS components. This could explain the limited adoption of normative selection approaches and general evaluation schemas. Moreover, it motivates a shift from developing such methods and schemas towards understanding the situational nature of software selection.

“…The literature presents various possible explanations for this: that the proposed methods are failing to deal with identification of components and information for evaluating them [4,6], and that it is impractical to perform complete evaluations in terms of time and cost [12].…”

Abstract. The reuse of Open Source Software components available on the Internet is playing a major role in the development of Component Based Software Systems. Nevertheless, the special nature of the OSS marketplace has taken the "classical" concept of software reuse based on centralized repositories to a completely different arena based on massive reuse over Internet. In this paper we provide an overview of the actual state of the OSS marketplace, and report preliminary findings about how companies interact with this marketplace to reuse OSS components. Such data was gathered from interviews in software companies in Spain and Norway. Based on these results we identify some challenges aimed to improve the industrial reuse of OSS components.

“…Evaluation of these middleware technologies has often reached the conclusion that middleware is a large and complex system, requiring careful coupling to, and tuning for, the specified application domain. In this sense, The Middleware Technology Evaluation (MTE) project has defined a procedure for evaluating middleware components and technologies [7]. They consider a laboratory-based generic product evaluation and they evaluate load-balancing mechanism for client requests as one of the key middleware components.…”

The increasing number of ITS (Intelligent Transportation Systems) equipment spread across cities offers tremendous possibilities in the development of distributed smart environments. A middleware layer located between the operating system and the final application can be used for the communication among the equipment to spontaneously act and cooperate among themselves. However, this middleware layer has also a computational cost that should be quantified as it can affect the main application. This paper defines a methodology for such quantification using as case example a modern ITS equipment related to vehicle tracking using artificial vision. Experimental results illustrate the proposed methodology.
