Introduction - Why CARE?Standard COTS Approach (e.g. RUP)
Develop Requirements Develop Architecture Develop Detailed Design and Consider
COTSHere, COTS Components Must Meet Functional &
Non-functional Requirements AND Fit With the Architecture
Detailed Design Phase Is Too Late Difficult to Find COTS Components
Consider COTS in the Requirements Phase

An Ideal CARE Approach
Customer “Satisficing” Flexibility of Customer Requirements Matching and Selecting COTS Components Goal-oriented
Method (or Process) BasedKnowledge-Based
Should Consider the Impact on Entire SDLC

Our Preliminary CARE Approach
Methodology Select Information System Example
Digital Library System Develop a System Level Specification Use a Middle Out Strategy
Start With Step “Define System Requirements” * Use Small Examples From the Library System
Define and Validate the Process Define the Knowledge-Base (repository)
Use i*, NFR, and IDEF0 notations
* Subsequent Steps: Define System Goals, Define System AgentsDefine Software, Interface, and Hardware Requirements

Preliminary CARE Approach
Example (Digital Library System)
Define System Goals Elicit Initial System Goal
Digital Library Should Comply With Current Standards
Refine System Goal Digital Library Should Comply With ANSI/NISO
Z39.50-1995 (version 3)
Baseline System Goals

Current State of CARE
Addresses COTS at “Define System Goals” Step Validation Uses Another Example From
the Digital Library System The Example Is More complex:
Conflicting Set of Functional and Non-functional GoalsConfigurability of CHI, Performance, Cost,...

Conclusions
Use of COTS Components is a Complex Problem Requires a Systematic Approach Our Methodology Seems to be Working
Preliminary CARE Approach is Serving as a Foundation CARE Approach is Being Elaborated,
Refined, and Validated

Future Work
Continue the Definition and Validation of the CARE Approach Formal Representation and Reasoning of
Goal Conflicts Build Knowledge-Base (repository) Trade-off Analysis for Possible
Configurations Investigate the Impact of CARE on
System Architecture, Development Costs, Maintenance,...
