ABSTRACT

With the rapid development of software reuse and globalization of the Internet, traditional software presents a new software paradigm which is called internetware. The emergence of internetware brings about new technologies to improve software reusability, cut costs in software development and increased development productivity. It is difficult to search the required internetware components and support the automatic internetware components composition in software system development. This paper presents an approach for classifying internetware of faceted classification, retrieving the required internetware components of tree matching, and then proposes a method that is based on concept of ontology to describe interfaces, used figure backward iteration to finish the composition. Simulation results show that the users can rapidly access the required internetware components and give the feedback of compositions to the users. It is proved that the retrieving method in this paper has higher recall and precision ratio.
