 | To assess the market for component-based software engineering, the Software Engineering Institute (SEI) studied industry trends in the use of software components. The study, conducted from September 1999 to February 2000, examined software components from both technical and business perspectives. The results of this study are summarized in the following technical notes and reports: Volume I: Market Assessment of Component-Based Software Engineering Volume II: Technical Concepts of Component-Based Software Engineering ... |

| Information systems are critical assets for modern enterprises and incorporate key knowledge acquired over the life of an organization. Although these systems must be updated continuously to reflect evolving business practices, repeated modification has a cumulative effect on system complexity, and the rapid evolution of technology quickly renders existing technologies obsolete. Eventually, the existing information systems become too fragile to modify and too important ... |

| More and more organizations are using intranets, and even the Internet, as the communications media for important data. However, such communications media are inherently insecure and subject to hijacking. To secure these connections, mechanisms must be built on top of the underlying communications facilities. In this paper, we discuss one such security mechanism and describe an implementation using common object request broker architecture (CORBA) based interceptors. |

| Members of the COTS-Based System Initiative at the Software Engineering Institute have developed the Generic Enterprise Ensemble (GEE), a generic approach to building distributed, transaction-based, secure enterprise information systems (EIS). GEE is a tool to help in the selection of technologies and architectural choices when building Enterprise Information Systems. Enterprise JavaBeans(TM) (EJB) is a specification from Sun Microsystems for an application server based on Java technology. In this paper, a ... |

|
| The modern enterprise information system (EIS) requires the integration of numerous technologies such as distribution, transactions, data management, security, and naming. Off-the-shelf architectures such as Enterprise JavaBeans(TRADEMARK) (EJB) provide a pre-integrated solution that supports the quick development and deployment of information systems. Unfortunately, the EJB specification is extremely porous, leading to portability problems. In addition, the line between vendor extensions and EJB standard functionality is blurred, making it difficult for ... |
