Abstract: From the middle of the 80's, the effective software reuse has become increasingly more important as the cost and complexity of software development escalated. The key to integration is determining the relationship between what components are potentially reusable and how they can be properly adapted. It is not always the case that existing components completely satisfying the problem that we need to solve. This paper addresses how the results of specification matching can be used to guide the selection and application of adaptation tactics and automate component adaptation and system integration based on type, interface, and behaviour adaptation.
