  Abstract

Components are stored in a component repository for later reuse. Effective search and retrieval of desired components in a component repository is a very important issue. It usually takes a lot of time and efforts to gather information about a component, and its availability is essential to implement a repository. Software Component Descriptor proposed in CORBA 3 contains information about a component using an XML vocabulary. In this paper we extend Software Component Descriptor to be useful for the search of a component repository. We use a facet scheme as a search method of a component repository. And our new retrieval method supports queries connected with logical operators such as AND, OR, NOT, which were not supported with existing facet retrieval methods. Also we reduce the search complexity considerably.
