8.5 Component Framework Service Area
The Component Framework Service Area (Figure 8-5) defines the underlying foundation and
technical elements by which service components are built, integrated and deployed across
component-based and distributed architectures.
The component framework consists of the design of application or system software that
incorporates interfaces for interacting with other programs and for future flexibility and
expandability. This includes, but is not limited to, modules that are designed to interoperate
with each other at run-time.
Components can be large or small, written by different programmers using different
development environments and may be platform independent. Components can be executed
on stand-alone machines, a LAN, intranet or the Internet.
