New Algorithm for Component Selection to Develop Component-Based Software with X Model

Abstract—Component-Based Software Engineering (CBSE) is an approach which is used to enhance the reusability with the development of component-based software from the preexisting software components or with the components which is developed from the scratch. A new algorithm is proposed for component selection by using best-fit strategy and first-fit strategy through X model which is used to develop componentbased software with two approaches likely development for reuse and development with reuse. But when reuse a preexisting software component through the development with reuse, component selection play an important role. Component selection for Component-Based Software Development (CBSD) is very challenging field for researchers and practitioners. This paper also presents the two component selection problem viz. Simple Component Selection Problems (SCSP) and Criteria Component Selection Problem (CCSP). On the basis of these two problems, this paper presents a new optimal solution with new algorithm for optimal component selection from repositories. Lastly, paper summarizes the factors used in algorithm for optimal selection of components with the help of X model repositories to fulfill the requirements of client by using SCSP and CCSP.

Index Terms—Component, reusability, best-fit, first-fit, X model.
