Component-based development (CBD) : has emerged as a new paradigm for software development which is expected : to improve software quality, development lead time and programmer : productivity. The basic idea underlying CBD is that software development : can be significantly improved if applications are quickly assembled from : prefabricated software components. A healthy market for software : components has emerged and an increasingly large collection of software : components is being made available though general, platform specific and : industry specific catalogues. While these developments are expected to : transform applications development from a craft activity to an industrial : process, research is needed to understand how such a transformation can : be effectively achieved and its implications.<br> : <br> : In this issue, we hope to publish papers that examine organizational, : technological and economic issues related to component-based software : development. A wide variety of research perspectives and research : approaches are encouraged. These include, but are not limited to: : conceptual papers that propose theories, experimental papers that are : theoretically motivated, yet whose findings have the potential to : interest practitioners; and field studies that develop new insights that : have the potential to change practice or lead to new theories. Research : focused on the development of tools and methods for CBD are also of : interest. We are particularly interested in papers that are novel and : present new ideas likely to provide directions for current research or : practice. <br> : <br> : Many specific topics are of interest for the special issue, : including:<br> : <br> : </font><font face="Symbol" size=4>·<x-tab> </x-tab></font><font face="Arial Narrow, Helvetica" size=4>Drivers : and benefits of CBD<br> : </font><font face="Symbol" size=4>·<x-tab> </x-tab></font><font face="Arial Narrow, Helvetica" size=4>Economics : of component-based development<br> : </font><font face="Symbol" size=4>·<x-tab> </x-tab></font><font face="Arial Narrow, Helvetica" size=4>Adoption, : use and impacts of CBD <br> : </font><font face="Symbol" size=4>·<x-tab> </x-tab></font><font face="Arial Narrow, Helvetica" size=4>Organizational, : managerial and technological infrastructures for CBD <br> : </font><font face="Symbol" size=4>·<x-tab> </x-tab></font><font face="Arial Narrow, Helvetica" size=4>Organizational : design for CBD <br> : </font><font face="Symbol" size=4>·<x-tab> </x-tab></font><font face="Arial Narrow, Helvetica" size=4>Impact : of CBD on the software development process, process issues in using CBD : <br> : </font><font face="Symbol" size=4>·<x-tab> </x-tab></font><font face="Arial Narrow, Helvetica" size=4>Impact : of CBD on the jobs of developers<br> : </font><font face="Symbol" size=4>·<x-tab> </x-tab></font><font face="Arial Narrow, Helvetica" size=4>Supply : side issues, economics of CBD for component vendors, software licensing : and copyright issues, component pricing<br> : </font><font face="Symbol" size=4>·<x-tab> </x-tab></font><font face="Arial Narrow, Helvetica" size=4>Component : design issues<br> : </font><font face="Symbol" size=4>·<x-tab> </x-tab></font><font face="Arial Narrow, Helvetica" size=4>Methodologies : for component-based development<br> : </font><font face="Symbol" size=4>·<x-tab> </x-tab></font><font face="Arial Narrow, Helvetica" size=4>Modeling : issues in component based development<br> : <br> : Instructions for submitting papers<br> : <br> : Submit an electronic copy of the paper to T.
