Abstract
The task of identifying software components that meet business requirements is a challenging issue in component-based development processes. In such a context, component repository systems can provide the means to effectively find suitable components, improving reuse of off-the-shelf software components. This paper presents a shared, distributed component repository architecture for large scale deployment of commercial and open source software components. The proposed architecture adopts a service-oriented approach in order to achieve a high degree of availability and reliability. Besides, the proposed architecture also deals with issues such as security, component certification and business models.
