Component-based programming aims at producing
higher quality software, increasing the reuse
of components and permitting late composition.
In the context of component-based programming,
applications are treated as composition of components.
Given an application composition, some of
the components might have been developed outside
the context of the application or its domain. As
a result, the overall efficiency of the composition,
in terms of cost and performance, becomes nondeterministic
- may not be guaranteed to be efficient
enough, even if the individual components
have been proven to be efficient. In other words,
two primary goals of software practice, efficiency
and quality, do conflict with each other. In this
paper, we argue that, this problem can partly be
overcome by paying more attention to componentspecific
information, component metadata, during
composition. We describe a possible means of extracting
and organising the metadata and formats
for specifying the metadata. Our scheme is independent
of component- and programming-models
and extensible. We see our work as a precursor to
a possible runtime scheme, where we intend to facilitate
extraction, maintenance and usage of component
metadata at runtime.
