A component represents a modular part of a system that encapsulates its contents and whose manifestation is replaceable within its environment. A component is a subtype of class which provides for a component having attributes and operations, and being able to participate in associations and generalizations. A component may form the abstraction for a set of classifiers that realize its behavior. In addition, a component may optionally have an internal structure and own a set of ports that formalize its interaction points. A component has a number of provided and required interfaces that form the basis for wiring components together. A component is modeled throughout the development life cycle and successively refined into deployment and run-time. A component may be manifest by one or more artifacts.
