Abstract

This paper introduces the basic concepts of coordination based design and addresses three important issues of COTS-based systems: meeting user needs, selection of proper COTS software and meeting non-functional requirements. It shows that established engineering practices that deal with these issues may be imposed during the development cycle by separating coordination from execution. By integrating COTS software using a coordinator, designers can address these issues up front.
