Developing software systems according to the Component-based Software Development (CBSD) model has proven be one of prominent development approaches nowadays. However, integrating components build a complete working system always been considered as an obstacle that requires substantial effort and may considerably delay process. The lack effective characterization component interfaces only focus on functional characteristics ignore architectural is main cause this difficulty. Therefore, work provides detailed in order expose implicit impact integration.
