In modern software development, many of software products are built by combining existing software components and coding only minimal required features. However, selecting necessary components from a number of components is not easy. For instance, Java 2 SDK Standard Edition (J2SE) Version 1.41_02 is widely used by software developers and provides them with 5568 software components (basis classes). From our pilot experiments, we have found that only 4% of the software components of Java 2 SDK were used in typical software development. This result indicates additional coding is still much required, while a variety of software components are currently available to reuse.The goal of our study is to realize an efficient environment for components-based software development. Toward achieving the goal, in this research project, we constructed a system that recommends required software components to developers according to the context of software development. Especially we focused on developing the following elemental technologies:(A). Birthmark: a technology to analyze the development context which means the progress and/or completeness of development, features and/or structures of software itself, and so forth, by extracting the amount of characteristics from target software under development,(B). Collaborative Filtering: a technology to identity and recommend software components which have context similar to target software, and(C). Association Visualization: a visualization technology to provide developers with reasons why the system recommends software components to developers.We integrated the three technologies into a system and evaluated it.

在现代软件开发中，许多软件产品都是通过组合现有软件组件并仅编码最少的所需功能来构建的。然而，从多个组件中选择必要的组件并不容易。例如，Java 2 SDK标准版（J2 SE）版本1.41_02被软件开发人员广泛使用，并为他们提供了5568个软件组件（基础类）。从我们的试点实验中，我们发现只有4%的Java 2 SDK的软件组件用于典型的软件开发。这一结果表明，额外的编码仍然是非常必要的，而各种软件组件目前可重用。我们的研究的目标是实现一个有效的环境，基于组件的软件开发。为了实现这一目标，在本研究项目中，我们构建了一个系统，该系统根据软件开发的上下文向开发人员推荐所需的软件组件。特别是我们专注于开发以下基本技术：（A）。标记：通过从开发中的目标软件中提取特征量来分析开发上下文的技术（B），所述开发上下文意味着开发的进度和/或完整性、软件本身的特征和/或结构等。协同过滤：识别和推荐具有与目标软件相似的上下文的软件组件的技术，以及（C）。关联可视化：一种可视化技术，为开发人员提供系统向开发人员推荐软件组件的原因。我们将这三种技术集成到一个系统中并对其进行评估。
