Analysis of component model by kernel structures

The CBSE (Component-Based Software Engineering) promise to provide reusability, maintainability and productivity to embedded systems. Since microkernel architecture guarantee reliable and efficient basis, various systems use microkernel architecture. The combination of CBSE and microkernel can provide more attractive features such like modularity and ease maintainability. However, the use of CBSE in the microkernel can have some performance overhead. In this paper, we describe the effect of CBSE in the microkernel. Especially, we more focus on the flash file system which has large amount of meta-data for file system management.
