Abstract:

The 3C model was first developed in [Trac 89] and reviewed at last year's workshop [SMTR 90]. This position paper responds to that review, and in doing so outlines a framework for thinking about 3C aspects of an architecture of components. Such components can be said to be normalized in that they capture one concern of the architecture in their content.




Keywords: 3C model, generic architectures, normalized components.
