The book Component-Based Software Engineering: Putting the Pieces Together, edited by George T. Heineman and William T. Councill  and recently published by Addison-Wesley

Beginning with some carefully wrought definitions, the book moves on to cover nearly every aspect of component engineering -- from software engineering practices to the design of software component infrastructures, technologies, and systems.

The book includes specific examples of CBSE successes and failures, and provides a balanced overview of the complexities of the component-based software life cycle. This timely and comprehensive volume:

 * Explains precisely what CBSE is and why it is as important to software development as the assembly line was to the industrial revolution
 * Shows how to avoid common mistakes while succeeding with difficult and important cultural, budgetary, and process issues
 * Presents new CBSE procedures to ensure good software development practices
 * Describes a layered method for designing and building complex distributed component systems using the Unified Modeling Language
 * Covers common component technologies, such as CORBA CCM,Transactional COM+, EJB, and much more
 * Presents the legal and regulatory challenges of marketing and purchasing components.
