Working with commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) software in large or critical systems?

The goal of the ICCBSS '02 conference was to exchange ideas about current best practices and promising research directions.

Using COTS software components isn't a shortcut for building the same old software systems in the same old way.

It's at the heart of a whole new approach that's vital to building and sustaining industry and government systems. Using COTS software keeps development and maintenance costs low and matches the pace of technological advances, but it creates new pressures.

It's at the heart of the revolution.

ICCBSS was the first annual conference that focused on the challenges of creating and maintaining COTS-based software systems.
