This work is related to the area of Ubiquitous Systems and it focuses on a Component-based Integration process. This implies the evaluation of whether components may or may not satisfy a given set of requirements. We propose a framework for such process and consider related concepts like Assessment and Adaptation. The Assessment procedure is based on meta-data added to components, involving assertions, and usage protocols. Assertions and usage protocolsare evaluated by applying a technique based on Abstract Syntax Trees. We also report on a prototype developed to implement the proposed Assessment and Adaptation procedures which allowed us to gain understanding about the complexity and effectiveness of our model.
