Abstract: In this paper we present the solutions to a major subset of problems facing component-based development and integration (CBDI). These solutions include patterns, techniques, design artifacts and activities across what we have identified as the five domains of CBDI: namely, organizational, methodological, architectural, technology implementation and infrastructure. We present a taxonomy of CBDI domains that transcends technology and tools, to cover a wider spectrum of business and methodology concerns across an enterprise. Representative examples from the methodology and the architecture domains are given. Domain-specific languages are combined with the object paradigm to yield grammar-oriented object design (GOOD). GOOD helps identify and map reusable subsystems in a business model to a well-mannered component-first software architecture. We then demonstrate how these manners should be added as first-class constructs to the component-based paradigm of software engineering.
