componentis
Componentis is a term used in the study and practice of modular system design to describe an approach in which systems are composed from well-defined, interchangeable components. Each component encapsulates a set of related responsibilities behind an explicit interface, enabling independent development, testing, and deployment.
Origin and scope: The term has emerged in contemporary discussions of component-based engineering as a general
Core concepts: Components are defined by boundaries and interfaces. Assembly and binding rules specify how components
Applications: In software, componentis informs architectures that emphasize reusability and plug-in extensibility, including component-based software engineering,
Benefits and challenges: The approach can improve reuse, scalability, and maintainability, and enable parallel development. Challenges
