  Software componentry
Software componentry is a common and convenient means for inter-process communication (IPC).
Software components often take the form of objects (from Object Oriented Programming), in some binary or textual form, adhering to some interface description language (IDL) so that the component may exist autonomously from other components in a computer.
Software componentry, by contrast, makes no such assumptions, and instead states that software should be developed by gluing prefabricated components together much like in the field of electronics or mechanics.

 Software architecture - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Software architecture or software systems architecture can best be thought of as a representation of an engineered (or To Be Engineered) software system, and the process and discipline for effectively implementing the design(s) for such a system.
In both software and hardware, a good subsystem tends to be seen to be a meaningful "object." Moreover, a good architecture provides for an easy mapping to the user's requirements and the user's validation/acceptance tests of the user's (software) requirements.
Software architecture is commonly organized in views, which are analogous to the different types of blueprints made in common architecture.

 Software architecture Summary
Software is very important to computing, and software architecture, as an aspect of software engineering and the design and construction of working computer systems, is a central concern to computer science and information technology.

 Object-oriented programming Summary
The practice of software development requires two parts: the model, which is an abstraction of some problem or aspect of a part of the real world, and the algorithm, which describes a well-defined process for solving the problem that has been encapsulated in the model.
Exceedingly large software systems which have complex interactions among their constituent parts can be described in the object-oriented model, based on the structure of the objects, classes, and the relationships between them.
However, that claim is unlikely to be true, as reuse of software is as old as the invention of the subroutine, reputedly prior to 1950.

 An Inter-Service Coupling Index for Lossless Exchanges
Thus, the level of coupling in software componentry is directly affected by the intelligence of the service network in which it resides.
And through 'educated networks', software modules will be able to automatically refactor themselves across the network to loosen or tighten their relationship as needed.
It is my opinion that the software community should place increasing attention on methods to enable the dynamic structuring of software across a network, with the structure of that software controlled by the network, not the programmer.

 Software componentry   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-09)
It builds on prior theories of object (object-oriented programming)s, software architectures, software frameworks and software design patterns, and the extensive theory of object-oriented programming and object-oriented design of all these.
Software components often take the form of object (computing)s (from Object Oriented Programming), in some binary or textual form, adhering to some interface description language (IDL) so that the component may exist autonomously from other components in a computer.
The idea that software should be componentized - built from prefabricated components - was first published in Douglas McIlroy's address at the NATO conference on software engineering in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany, 1968 titled Mass Produced Software Components.

 ACM Queue - From COM to Common: Component software has come a long way in the past 10 years.
There are now many different forms of software componentry for many different purposes.
Similarly, the goal of component software is to standardize the interfaces between software components so that they too can work together seamlessly.
Many analysts believe that component software is the natural extension of object-oriented programming and that it will become the standard programming paradigm for years to come.

 THE UNIVERSITY OF YORK
Over the past few years, the progress in the development of software for the display of genetic data has been impaired by the fact that researchers need very specialised software to perform the exact functions that they require.
It would seem that a better answer to this problem would lie in having available a library of software components, each performing a certain function that could be easily connected together like building blocks to form a user-customised software package.
David Searls, in an early attempt to popularise biological componentry, said that a widget "should segregate the graphical nature of objects from the code concerned with their underlying meaning", (ref. 9).

 Resources: standards and architectures - Category View: definitions
Software architecture is a coherent set of abstract patterns guiding the design of each aspect of a larger software system.
In the same way as a building architect sets the principles and goals of a building project as the basis for the draftsman's plans, so too, a software architect sets out the software architecture as a basis for actual system design specifications, per the requirements of the client.
When used as an adjective, the term is hyphenated: "Apache is open-source software"; otherwise, when used as a noun, there is no hyphen: "open source".

 GNOME (Linux Reviews)
A great deal of software is created or hosted under the umbrella of the GNOME project, some of which is collected and released as GNOME.
The GNOME project was started in August 1997 by Miguel de Icaza and Federico Mena in response to licensing concerns over software used by KDE, a free software desktop environment that relies on the Qt widget toolkit.
At the time, Qt did not use a free software license and members of the GNU project became concerned about the use of such a toolkit for building a free software desktop and applications.

Component Object Model (COM) is a Microsoft platform for software componentry introduced in 1993, largely to replace the interprocess communication mechanism DDE used by the initial release of OLE.
The term COM is often used in the software development world as an umbrella term that encompasses the OLE, OLE Automation, ActiveX, COM+ and DCOM technologies.
COM provides a language-neutral way of implementing objects such that they can be used in environments different from the one they were created in, even across machine boundaries.
