Abstract

The 3C model was first developed in [Trac 89] and reviewed at last year's workshop [SMTR 90]. This position paper responds to that review, and in doing so outlines a framework for thinking about 3C aspects of an architecture of components. Such components can be said to be normalized in that they capture one concern of the architecture in their content. Keywords: 3C model, generic architectures, normalized components. 1 Introduction The 3C model was presented and reviewed at our previous workshop, The Third Annual Workshop: Methods and Tools for Reuse [SMTR 90]. Will Tracz summarized his perspective on the discussion: The 3C model was accepted in part by most of the attendees. The most critical critisism focused on the granularity of the modules. I believe people were trying to scale up the model to apply to larger subsystems and were having difficulty in expressing the semantics. Another area that needed further clarification is the process of differentiating the roles of im...
