Challenges in Selecting COTS Component Guidelines

Reuse of COTS (Commercial off the shelf components is a new development approach in software engineering. Developers get benefit from COTS-based development (CBD) environment to select suitable components, adopt and integrate into the system that to achieve better software, more quickly and lower cost. But the current environment didn't support the typical of CBD process in all processes [1]. Some environments are support in some steps or focus on how to develop the components and components interoperability that allow in the same environment. In this paper we propose a new environment tool called "CS-COTS" are consist of (1) Sophisticate machine learning tools for generating rules in selection and integration. (2) Guideline for selecting methods category. (3) Predict a success rate to integrate methods fit into system.
