Abstract

Due to the quick growth of the modular software development, the commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) selection model of optimization technique becomes more popular in a component-based software system (CBSS). In order to realize the benefits of the COTS product, it is necessary to select the right products for various software systems. This paper proposed a genetic algorithm (GA)-based hybrid approach with fuzzy exponential membership function for best fit of COTS components. In this proposed approach, decision-maker (DM) is required to specify the different aspiration levels as per his/her preference to obtain an efficient allocation plan with different shape parameters in the exponential membership function. A real-world scenario of developing two financial applications for two small-scale industries is provided to represent the importance of the proposed algorithm with data set from a realistic situation.
