Abstract

We present an extension to the UML meta-model which allows modelling of contract aware components. Contracts are a novel way of describing the functional and non-functional behaviour of components. The usage of contracts in component diagrams allows tools to check whether all requirements for a successful assembly and deployment of the components are fulfilled. Furthermore, we investigate how components can be used in the different development phases and how design phase transitions can be managed.
