Dependencies in the component selection problem

Component Selection is a crucial problem in Component-Based Software Engineering. We adapt a Greedy approach to constructing a component-based system by introducing a new selection function. The new selection decision takes into account not only the cost of the components but also their interplay. The case study shows that considering the dependencies between the components the cost of the obtained solution may be higher due to the new selection improvement condition, but no dependencies between the selected components exist.
