QW2002 Paper 2T2 Dr. Josef Withalm Quality Assurance Aspects in Developing a Component-based System |
|
In my contribution, I examine the influence component technologies can have on established QM-systems. With an example from the field of tourism, I describe how an e-business architecture is built and which component technologies can be used in order to fulfil the demands of both, QM and e-business.
