Abstract

In this paper, we design and implement the prototype system, and propose the Extended Faceted Classification Scheme and the Hybrid Retrieval Method that support classifying the software components, storing in library, and efficient retrieval according to user''s request. In order to designs the classification scheme, we identify several necessary items by analyzing basic classes of software components that are to be classified. Then, we classify the items by their characteristics, we store software components in the library by clustering their application domains and are assign weights to the facets and its items to describe the component characteristics. In order to retrieve the soft ware components, we use the retrieval-by-query model, and the weights and similarity for easy retrieval of similar software components. As he result of applying proposed classification scheme and retrieval model, we can easily identify similar components and the process of classification become simple. Also, the construction of queries becomes simple, the control of the size and order of the components to be retrieved is possible, and the retrieval effectiveness is improved.
