Component-based software engineering
Component-based software engineering (CBSE), also known as component-based development (CBD), is a branch of software engineering that emphasizes the separation of concerns.

Description
It is a reuse-based approach to defining, implementing and composing loosely coupled independent components into systems.
Benefits
This practice aims to bring about an equally wide-ranging degree of benefits in both the short-term and the long-term for the software itself and for organizations that sponsor such software.
Software engineering practitioners regard components as part of the starting platform for service-orientation.
Web services
Components play this role, for example, in web services
More recently, components have played a role in service-oriented architectures (SOA), whereby a component is converted by the web service into a service and subsequently inherits further characteristics beyond that of an ordinary component.
Event-driven architecture
Components can produce or consume events and can be used for event-driven architectures.
